Castles

it means vertical sliding gate that protects a castle.

it is 200 ft from from ground

Because the Queen of England and the Royal Family live there

Castles were heated using fire places.

because they looked like bumble bees in the 1500's

The slits are simply called arrow slits or occasionally Balistraria. Sometimes the arrow slits are looking out of embrasures. Arrow slits were useful for protecting the castle as they were easy to fire out of but very, very hard to fire into. To find out more about embrasures click on the link below.

you could put them under seige or use a catapult if a moat is included hope this helps :)

Historically, it would seem that the eleventh through sixteenth centuries were the "Golden Age" of castle building in Europe. Some were built before or after that time, but most date to that 500 year period.

It was built for defence purposes!

Because cathedrals are bigger and more complicated

It was destroyed with rocket launchers?? Certainly an idea but the Castle fell to Parliamentarian Forces during the English Civil war after a member of the Castle staff let the enemy in through a side door. The Castle was then destroyed by gunpowder, to make it unusable. The process is known as 'Slighting'. After the destruction much of the stone work was carried away and many of the houses in Corfe Castle village have stonework from the castle in their construction.

When the Normans won their victory in the Battle of hastings of 1066, motte and bailey castles started to appear. The first castle was built somewhere in France.

Most of the time yes so they could just get up and go to work but servants had a designated area where they stay

they normally lived near the bottom of the castle and rarely ventured to the higher levels.

:0 it has 30400

Stone i think

The largest uninhabited castle is Doune. Largest inhabited castle is Floors. (I think!?!)

Dunster Castle was built after the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century

The castle is placed on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany.

Well there is are two walls and in between those walls is called the 'deathhole' because your certain to die if your trapped between there, because there will be hot oil or tar being poured on you also fire arrows and arrows will get shot at you. Also there are many towers and turrets which have murder holes in them allowing them to shoot at the enemies with fire and normal arrows they can also catapult rocks and other items at you.

manors

Moat - filled with water and helps stop the enemy from reaching the castle

Arrow slits - easy to shoot out of but not into

Outer wall - taller than the rest of the castle apart from the keep

Soldiers - shoot the enemy DEAD

Portcullis - Helps stop enemies entering the castle

all you must do is go through the log cabin hotels and poof! your there but u might want to reserve anywhere you want to eat cause if you dont it would b very rare to get to eat lunch somewhere

They did this because if anyone in the country protest about the king they can build castles for the protection and for a battle with any other country. They changed over time because some of the stone would get old and rot and also to improve the castles protection.
