Castles

these fortifications were called ringworks, the castle's primary defense against attack

The first stone castles or fortifications, were built in Medieval England while William the Conqueror ruled. They were not built by Africans but by English peasants.

The 12 century is the 1100's.

Dover has been inhabited and fortified for centuries as it is a port at the narrowest section of the English Channel. Iron Age defenses were built over by the Romans, who constructed a lighthouse. On his way to London in 1066, William the Conqueror had a castle built here, and his descendant Henry II expanded upon it in the late 1100s. Modifications were made after vulnerabilities were revealed in the 1216 siege by the French. Georgian military engineers modified the works in from the mid 1700s to the early 1800s to deal with gunpowder weaponry, and extensive tunnels were dug under the castle in the 20th century to protect command facilities from aerial and nuclear attack. So Dover Castle has a delightful variety of military architecture. SOURCE:http://johnsmilitaryhistory.com/dover.html

Portchester was built in the 3rd Century by the Romans.

I do not believe that any specific place is mentioned in scripture as to where the tabernacle was first errected. I would sugest that it would have been sometime after the jews had crossed over the waters, maybe even in the promised land.

The first mention of it being used was in Exodus i.e. " And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation". See Exodus 28:43.

The Duke of Northumberland, built following the Norman conquest

Castles protect people by providing very high and durable walls to keep invaders away. They were highly successful until large siege engines were created to tear down the walls.

In 1216, the French laid siege to Dover Castle but they failed to capture it. However in 1295 the French attacked Dover and burned it.

As the medieval period spanned approx 400 years, what medieval castles looked like could vary a lot depending upon when they were built, what materials were used and the location.

Following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 until around 1100, castles were mainly motte and bailey type with frames and palisades (fences) made of timber.

From the 12th century onwards these were replaced by castles made of stone, the most substantial being concentric castles. Leeds Castle in Kent built in 1119 is a good example of a concentric castle which is still in tact.

The site for a castle's construction could vary enormously and therefore affected how it was built and how it looked. One example is Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland which was built on very high ground overlooking. Another is Beaumaris Castle in Anglesey which was built on marshland.

Castles are, of course designed to be resistant to attack. The battlements and loopholes in the wall allowed those inside to fire at attackers from a sheltered position, the height and placement of a castle usually allowed those inside a clear view of any attackers and there were several lines of defence inside the castle. Castles could be attacked with large catapults which could throw rocks over the walls, a battering ram, usually to break through the gates and latterly canons could try to breach the walls. Ultimately, the best form of attack would be to lay siege to the castle. This meant posting soldiers all around so that no one could leave or enter and the castle would eventually run out of food and water.

It was built on request of a prisoner because he wanted to be able to see the sky at night but it was used to spot people trying to escape. It was built on request of a prisoner because he wanted to be able to see the sky at night but it was used to spot people trying to escape.

It was rammed through walls and big doors. They would first douse the doors with oil. Then they would set fire to them and let it burn to weakin the enourmous wooden doors.

Probably Windsor Castle, which is one of the Royal residences.

When they were built they would have been called a bucket or a ole in the wall. today they are called toilets.

There are many strengths and weaknesses of a stone keep castle. One strength includes the size which makes it intimidating to attackers. The height also makes it easier to foresee attacks miles away. However, since stone keeps are square, an attacker could simply remove a corner and wait for the castle walls to cave in.

Castles are like castles. Some more recent buildings have been built to look like ancient castles, e.g. Banwell Castle in Somerset, built by the Wills family, of tobacco fame, in the 19th century.

The DonJon is the central tower of a castle, later developed into the keep of the castle.

It was built in the 6th century. (500-600 AD)
