They created an area of protection behind the walls and moats of the castles, but this also called for new technology such as siege towers for the enemy to get over the castle walls. Hope this helps! :D

Eilean Donan castle is on the west coast of Scotland. It is one of the most photogenic castles in Scotland .It is about 180 miles from Edinburgh.

It is estimated that to build even a small motte could take for example 50 men working 10 hours per day approx 40 days. There is no similar estimate to construct the wooden tower. It is likely that Prince William brought at least 2 prefabricated towers with him in 1066. This would explain the time frame of 2/3 weeks when he built 2 castles at Pevensey and Hastings.

Improvement: 2 weeks maybe 3 weeks tops!

No. I was in the dungeon of Warwick castle and it was not in ruins.

It's a good movie, but some say Hayao Miyazaki has made better movies. As a fan, I would recommend watching it and if you like it you should rent Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, and Princess Mononoke if you can handle violence and blood. But if you're gonna show a movie to kids, I'd go with Howl's Moving Castle and Ponyo.

A kitchen in 1068 was the hub of castle life. There would be dozens of people working there, doing everything from preparing food to butchering animals and producing butter and cheese, baking bread, and preserving food by smoking or drying.

Chillon Castle was built by connection about 100 buildings with a wall to protect all of them. We do not know when the buildings were built or when they were connected, but the process appears to have taken place gradually over time. First mention of the castle is in a document from the year 1005, and the next date it was mentioned is from 1160.

This is a bit of a complicated answer because Carcassonne has been occupied since the 6th century BCE by different groups who all made contributions to building and rebuilding the castle and the city surrounding it.

Carcassonne is in southwestern France first occupied by the Celts. In the 1st century BCE, the Latin group, Volcae Tectosages, fortified the fort and its building. In the 3rd and 4th centuries CE, the Romans created more fortifications, including walls and the beginnings of the castle. Ruins of these Roman defenses are still visible today. Throughout the 5th through 11th centuries CE, it was ruled by Visigoths and Arabs. It became the seat of a count, and then a viscount in the 9th century. A proper castle was built sometime in the 12th century and within the 13th and 14th centuries, the town gained more citizens, becoming a normal medieval fortress. The castle was improved upon and fortified until the 18th century, when the architect Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet-de-Duc was commissioned to restore the castle. The restoration began with his commission in 1846 and was finished in 1910, some 30 years after Viollet-de-Duc's death.
