How long did it take to build hever castle?

Like most English castles, Hever was constructed in separate phases over many hundreds of years (not all in one long period of construction). It was originally built as a fortified country house (not really a castle) in 1270; in 1462 it was converted into a manor; in the 20th century a programme of repair and reconstruction was undertaken, resulting in the present building.


What famous people lived in castles?

When he was in England, William the Conqueror lived in castles. King Edward II was born in Carnarvon Castle; his mother was living in temporary residence there while the castle was being built. King Henry V was born in Monmouth Castle. Anne of Cleves lived in a Hever Castle, which had also been the home of Anne Boleyn. There were a number of others, but most powerful medieval people did not normally live in castles. Most castles were not designed to be homes, but rather forts. A few manor houses were fortified and called castles, later in the Middle Ages, and a few were very large, to the point that a comfortable residence could fit inside. These few were really the only ones people might like to live in.


Who lived in kidwelly castle?

I was unable to find names of people who lived in Kidwelly Castle. Since it was a royal castle, built for defense against a local population, and the king seems never to have lived there, it probably was only the home to its English garrison, or to the garrisons of the Welsh who occasionally took it over.
