Castles

You can have more defences around it also it would be able to make more space for buildings :P

it was built in 1177 by roger bigod and it took him 40 years to builf it

I would say catapults also cannons

It was built of wood in the beginning of th 11th century and burned down on several occasions. At the end of the 11th century it was rebuilt of stone by Robert I. At the beginning of the 13th century it was rebuilt by Andre III. Then in the 15th century it was expanded by Guy XII de Laval.

Because it slowed them down. Men in armour don't swim terribly well so by the time they'd constructed bridges or boarded boats the men above in the fort could cheerfully sink them.

Gunpowder.

Parts of the current castle were completed in the early 18th century. There had been a castle on the site as far back as the 13th century, but it was destroyed by fire in the late 17th century.

To answer your question, the Norman castles had deep ditches and high embankments, which shows how hard it was to attack. It was also quite easy to defend as look-out posts at the top of the bailey could give the inhabitants an early warning if there were signs of a rebellion among the locals.

Through the constant inclination in the residents towards self improvement and higher living standards.

William the Conqueror from Normandy invaded Britain and became king, Normans built many motte and bailey castles as well as the infamous Tower of London. The were originally from Normandy, the area just before Brittany, the panhandle on the northern coast, and im sure they built castles there.

Windsor Castle did have a ditch (moat) up until Charles II had it filled in in the 1700s.The moat was never filled with water though, as the castle is built upon chalk. Any water would have sunk straight through.

about 230 pounds

Personally I would make it out of card board. It could include round towers which could be made out of toilet roll. REMEMBER: A concentric castle needs an outer wall and the castle goes in the middle. The outer wall is to give the castle more protection. Try not to make it a fairy-tale castle and more of a historic castle made out of stone.

When it was besieged. Then, the regular occupants (the castle's lord and his family and servants) would get company from all the lord's knights and soldiers and their servants, sometimes families and other hangers-on.

There were various castle weaknesses. It depends what castle type you are talking about. Wooden castles were used, but had the obvious downfall of no fire resistance, so stone was used instead. Then, because the corners of their square castles were the weakest parts, the builders made circular castles.

It is called a Great Hall.

An oubliette is a dungeon cell accessible only through a trap door in the ceiling. The word is from the French verb oublier "to forget."

There are many more than five castles in France. Castles in France include Sully Castle, Puymartin Castle, and Saumur Castle. Vincennes Castle and La Roche Guyon Castle are two other castles that are found in France.

I living in Caerphilly visit, because I really find it intresting to think that this was actually there 100 years ago, and also to find out a bit about the history of the castle that can be very intresting. There is a story and a myth about a ghost spirt known as the green lady. The story says that gilburt decler who was a Norman married a nother french women who evenchly went back to France and then dies of a broken heart because her loved one was killed by gilburt declar. The myth does sound a bit egsagerated but gilburt declar was real. The castle is also the second biggest in great Britain, and is the biggest of it's kind as well.

There were several type of materials that wee used to construct Neuschwanstein Castle. The entire foundation was made from cement. The walls of the castle were built using brick and limestone.

It allows for quick building. It takes a long time to build a stone castle. In those pre-gunpowder days, wood was fairly resistant to most forms of attack. All you needed was a good watchguard and a supply of water in case the eneny tried to burn the place down. Otherwise they had to assault the place with ladders and battering rams.

Warwick castle is 2859km wide and 678km high

Hehe, he's just kiddin'.

You can measure it yourself using, e.g. Google Earth by using the measure tool.

It should be no more than 0,7 x 0,3 mile.

A castle that has defense and can be protected from attack.
