they changed to concentric casles so that enemies couldnt go underground and the whole castle would fall

he built as many as he could so that his soilders where safe and manly his self

It was a motte and bailey castle, later turned into a stone keep castle.

Warwick Castles sits on 65 acres of land.

There are a few qualities that are valued in herbs grown in the castle garden. One quality is that they are fresh.

People liked to live near castles because trade would come by more often because the castle was there. Also a lord could have brought in a daily or weekly market for him and his people surrounding him. Also people felt protected if they were near a castle because the army could fight invaders off. yo whats up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! == ==

1. easy access to water for the residents

2. in medieval times land transport was inefficient - the roads were usually poor, unpaved and carts could carry small quantities of goods. being located next to a river meant supplies could be transported by ships/boats - they carry more cargo more effectively.

3. protection - if one side of the castle was built along the bank of the river, approaching the castle from this direction would be difficult. The enemy must cross the river slowly in boats, while coming under fire from the soldiers in the castle.

well castles were houses at first and then vikings started to attack there land so they thought by making there houses bigger it would word but they viking kept comin back so the made them even bigger with forts and knights and all this stuff so ever since then they started making castles stonger and made out of rock and it was hard for the vikings but easyr for the people in the city

Not all of theMotte and Bailey castles were replaced, in fact, most of them weren't replaced but were left to rot. The Motte and Bailey castles that did get replaced were done so by Stone Keep castles (Stone castles). These castles were made out of stone (unsurprisingly) but the Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood. The reasons that some of the Motte and Bailey castles got replaced were that they weren't very strong, they rot within a few years and that they burn easily. The Stone Keep castles were the complete opposite of this.

i think that it was the 18th century

The Palaces, mansions and castles occupied by various members of the royal family on a regular basis, or on state visits to Scotland and Northern Ireland, are owned by the State IE the United Kingdom.

HM Queen Elizabeth owns only two residences: Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sandringham House. Both of these were purchased or built by her ancestors and were inherited by the Queen.

This information can be found on the official Royal website FAQ section http://www.royal.gov.uk/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/20mostaskedquestions.aspx

"Castle" has been used to describe fortified manor houses (not strictly accurately), keeps, palaces, castles in which royalty/nobility lives (at least part-time), castles in which royalty/nobility does NOT live (run by a Castellan), and various other fortifications.

Depending on the size of the place, and the wealth of its owner, there would be more or less staff. Impoverished nobles would have to be satisfied with a minumum of staff (sad, apocryphal tales exist of those left with only one faithful servant), while a head of state of a wealthy nation could hire as many as he/she pleased.

First thing you'd need, starting at the bottom, was a cleaning staff. The place starts to look run-down pretty quickly without one. These low-ranking members of the staff would report to a head maid, or, possibly, directly to the Chamberlain or Seneschal, these two being concerned with the Great Hall and castle finances for the former, and estate and domestic administration and special events, for the latter. Some, larger castles, distinguished between the higher-ranked chambermaids and the lower-ranked below-stairs maids, the difference being whether you had direct contact with the high-ranked, being in charge of cleaning their rooms.

Additionally, you'd need a chapel (no castle being without one) where the lord/lady could receive mass. The person in charge of this would be the chaplain, and he might have one or more assistants.

Each castle also had a cook staff, with a head cook (traditionally, at least for part of the medieval period, male, at least in most places. Lifting heavy iron grills and large, shield-sized breads, subtleties and large meats for roasting could be a major test of strength, though smaller foods (breads, meat pies, sops, and so forth) were also prepared. This head cook might also be halfway to being a medieval doctor; many recipes were listed in old manuscripts as being for the treatment of this or that ailment. The head cook would have been in charge of the scullions, those who washed and cleaned the kitchen utensils, and would have had a cookstaff, a number of assistant cooks, preparers and servers. Once the servers reached the Dining Hall, however, they shifted to the responsibility of the Seneschal, who was there to make sure they were in their places, and didn't do anything stupid, like pouring hot sops (sort of soup poured over bread) into M'Lord Hoity Toity's hair.

Of course, many of the royalty had an official doctor. In some places he was called a "barber," and also cut hair, in some places he was called a Leech. Puns, notwithstanding.

You'd also, in places with a full-siezed staff, see a Butler (in charge of wine and beer), Clerk (a bookkeeper - you'd need at least one for the house accounts, and possibly one for transport, and possibly one or more for castle inventory), Gong Farmer (in charge of emptying latrine pits, for castles that had them), groundskeepers, Keeper of the Wardrobe (in charge of the laundry, and any seamstresses and tailors), ladies' maids (keeping the noble women, if any, properly groomed and dressed), Master of the Hunt (for when the nobility went out for "venison," which, originally, meant "hunted-for meat") assisted by various huntsmen, Bailiff (in charge of planning work outside the castle, done by peasants), Hayward (to take care of hedges, if any), Herald (in charge of knowing who had what symbol attached to them), Pages (in charge of messages in-house and small tasks), Messengers (in charge of messages going in and out of the house), Reeve (in charge of being on-the-spot to supervise work on the castle-owner's property), Personal attendants (sort of a group of "appropriate people" to hang out with for some of the castle's residents), an almoner (in charge of alms to the poor), cupbearers (to check for poison), a bathman (in charge of the bathtub both in the castle, and, when the noble traveled or during fair weather, outside the castle; he might have been assisted by one or more Ewerers, in charge of transporting hot water to the bath) and, possibly, a butcher (though this function might be fulfilled by the cooks).

Some castles might also have a lamplighter, in charge of lighting lanterns, candles and rushlights (a reed dipped in grease, held by a clip on a holder), though this would usually have been delegated to the chambermaids. Keep in mind that until the 14th century, the floor would have been covered by rushes or later, sometimes with herbs. Lighting the lanterns without catching the place on fire would have to have been a priority.

Each castle would also have a guard, though the standing garrison of the castle would have been small during the early middle ages. This guardian staff would have included a Porter (also known as a doorward) who kept track of who came and left, and made sure no one did either without permission. Additionally, any Knights in residence, and Squires (a combination of Knight-in-Training and general dogsbody for a particular knight) would have been part of this force, and, in most cases, by Watchmen.

In general, there would have been a group of people in charge of animals, and the variety of animals would have varied from castle to castle. This would, generally, include a number of horses; in fact, in 1451 and 1452, King Henry the VIII decreed that nobles of a certain status would be required to maintain at least 7 horses of at least 14 hands, each. Thus, the need for a Master of Horse, a Stablemaster (assuming the two weren't the same person) and hostlers/groomszperiodz In addition, in charge of teams of horses would have been teamsters, and in charge of transport, carts, containers, and so on, would have the Marshal.

Additional animal handlers would likely include a Falconer, the Master of the Hounds, and a variety of houndsmen for handling the dogs during hunts.

Various castles also had craftspeople associated or resident. The first, most likely one would have been a blacksmith capable of doing farrier work (shoing horses), weaponsmithing and armory (to keep the garrison supplied), hinges, nails, tools (for the peasants working around the castle), and so on.

However, many castle owners would also have workers in crafts both for the use of the nobility resident, and for providing exportable goods. While a castle might have one or a few of these, no castle would have had them all (and would, instead, hire out). These crafters could include woodworkers, tanners, soapmakers, chandlers, weavers, fullers, carders, spinsters, tailors and seamstresses, bottlers, brewers, vintners, glaziers, shoemakers, and just about any medieval craft or industry.

Last, but not least, there was generally entertainment; whether an on-staff minstrel for genteel entertainment during milady's embroidery session, or a hired, full-size band for dances and so forth. There might be musicians, tumblers, and so on.

Simply because upon impact, the force hitting a round tower is more spread out than on a square tower. Try it yourself: take a raw egg in the palm of your hand and try to crush it using one hand only. It will be impossible (or at least very hard) due to the curvature of the shell, which would otherwise be extremely easy to break.

I would prove it to you using a mathematical diagram but I just can't work out how to attach photos into this answer.

Hope you find this useful,

Even though the square keep castles had more windows, so soldier could see better which made them attack easier. There was only one point of entry which was the Draw bridge. Once the enemies break in or it they were most likely dead.

A killing ground is a place between the first and the second walls of a castle. When the enemies destroy the first door and enter in the castle, a second wall appear in front of them. While they try to destroy the second door, the defenders throw arrows, stones and other objects on the enemies, who are in the "Killing Ground".

yes they did they had buckets to carry water from the well 143

what are the major advantage and disadvantage of concentric diversification?

some one shot it and it fell down

i think he build Dundrum Castle and Carrickfergus Castle (the main keys to his kingdom), Inch Abbey and Greyabbey (where his wife was buried).

I hoped this helped i don't know if there is any others but this is all i know
