Castles

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.

Sorry I cannot be of more help to you.

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.

Obama stayed on it for 3 years the moved to Hawaii then Kenya

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)

Well there were people called 'castlers' who worked in the castles ...

They were rather small and had a very big mustache that was bigger than their whole body which meant that they fell over alot.

The people would walk about getting soup for the people who lived in the castles and would often spill the soup on the mustache which meant they had to go and wash it, which was a chore of its own.

Because Breanna said so and also because they are very stupid and they are very funny too, just because they are bunnies.

Stone or square keep castles were first built in Medieval England by William the Conqueror. Stone keep castles were the natural extension of motte and bailey castles. Motte and bailey castles were only temporary features (though many mottes exist to the day) while stone keep castles were built to last

(cass-L) is how you pronounce it castle

Chambord Castle was built between 1519-1547.

• I think it was a motte and bailey then rebuilt into a concentric castle later by Henry II
  

  Its origins lie in the Iron Age, and a Roman Lighthouse and Anglo-Saxon church can still be seen within the grounds.

  William of Normandy strengthened existing Anglo-Saxon fortifications here in 1066, but it was Henry II who set the blueprint for today's castle when he had the fortifications rebuilt in the 1180's, adding the massive keep and a series of concentric defences.
