Castles

There is a building on Perryville road in the shape of a castle. But I dont know if it is a White Castle or not. I've been told both.

The Castle building on Perryville road was to be a children's dentist office. The castle experience an attempt to hide its true intentions and make it attractive to kids. As far as I know this has never opened.

Goodrich was built in the Welsh Marshes in a strategic point and for defense. The location of Welsh castles seem to be strategic in function and also filling a political and symbolic role. The castle showed that they were the true masters of all that they ruled.

Queen Elizabeth II lives in Windsor Castle on the weekends, usually arriving from London on Friday afternoons. She also may stay when there is an official state visit and the guest of honor is accommodated there.

During the week, unless she is on a tour or holiday, she lives at Buckingham Palace in London.

It depends on whether you were wealthy or poor and just needed a place to live. I also depended on what kind of structure your castle had!! Normal castles had approximately 20 rooms. 10 on the first level and 10 on the second!

Both. There was plenty of variety in medieval music.

A battlement is a wall that has openings like vertical slots at the top for archers to shoot through.

Castles were expensive to build, they were expensive to equip, their garrisons were expensive, and they fell apart of their own accord if they were not maintained at some expense. Once cannons were made useful and widespread, castles had lost a lot of their appeal.

You need hundreds (possibly millions) of limestone blocks and about 30,000 slaves.

Scocieties built on manor's or trade routes for trade and commerce. Merchants helped settle towns because they usually lived where they sold their goods. People did not come out of their houses because they were to scared in the village, because the knights would threghten them and tell them to die. The Knights and king were cruel because they left the people to starve.

The first castles were in France, in the motte-and-bailey style and entirely of earth and timber. They were built by the French to ward off Viking incursions. The earliest ones date to shortly before 1000.

The earliest castles in England were built by Norman military advisers to King Edward the Confessor in 1051 and 1052, some 14 years before the Norman conquest. The Normans, who were Viking settlers in France, learned castle-building from the French.

The purpose is to prevent invaders/enemies from having easy access to the castle. ---- The purpose of a castle's moat was that of an additional obstacle to keep out unwelcomed visitors; additional to guards, high walls, and sturdy gates.

A drawbridge was used by the people of a castle or walled city to prevent outsiders from getting in. The design purpose of the drawbridge was for military defense, so enemies could not even get to the gates. Drawbridges were raised in some places during the Black Plague, effectively putting the area within the walls under siege until the plague passed. In a few places where the plague had not already got in, this was an effective way to protect the inhabitants.

Quite simply, medieval catapults were utilitarian siege weapons and were not embellished in any manner and therefore would only have the colour or their ownwood, rope andcloth construction.

The Dark Ages are the 500 or so years after the fall of the West Roman Empire. Dates used for this time are usually 476 to 1066 or something like that. It is a term that has gone out of fashion in much of the world, though it is still used in the UK. People who use the term Dark Ages often date the Middle Ages as starting with the end of the Dark Ages and lasting until 1485, when the Wars of the Roses ended.

The term Middle Ages is used by other people as a name of the whole period, usually with the dates 476 to 1453. These people use the term Early Middle Ages for the Dark Ages of 476 to 1000, High Middle ages for the period from 1000 to 1300, and Late Middle Ages for the period from 1300 to 1453.

Personally, I think neither the terms Dark Ages and Early Middle Ages is very useful. The time from 400 to 700 was the Age of Migration, characterized in Western Europe by a series of invasions by migrating peoples, often very destructive, who eventually settled down and went through a series of issues that had to be addressed as they established kingdoms with well functioning laws and customs. The later time, from 700 to 1000, included the Carolingian Renaissance, the Macedonian Renaissance, and the Ottonian Renaissance, times of great political, social, and cultural development. These two times were more different from each other than the later was from the High Middle Ages, I believe, and if the Middle Ages are to be subdivided, that should be taken into account.

There are a number of different positions that fit this question. A steward would be appointed by the lord of a manor to represent his interests and manage his affairs and his household when he was not in residence. A bailiff could also be appointed by the lord. The bailiff was responsible for overseeing agricultural work on the lords behalf, possibly was responsible for collecting rents, etc. Bailiff can be a somewhat confusing term, it can be used in a more general way to mean an appointed official of various sorts. Sheriffs and mayors were also considered "bailiffs".

There were also reeves, who were officials chosen by the residence of the village instead of the lord, who were responsible for overseeing the collective agricultural work of the village, be it the labor obligations owed to the lord or work such as plowing that by agreement was done cooperatively.

You play rock paper scissors. Best out of three and you go to the losers house.

Most cooking in castles was done outdoors if possible. They did not have chimneys in most castles and had to vent the smoke and fumes. An alternative used in bad weather was to cook in a kitchen that would be in a separate building in the ward or courtyard. Another alternative was to have a kitchen or kitchens in the keep or donjon, but this was difficult to do, again because of smoke and fumes.

Castles were not used anymore in the 16th century because of the use of gunpowder on the battle field. So they could be conquered in a single day because the enemy had big cannons which would blow the walls down.

castles changed because as weapons advanced castles needed stronger defenses so they became bigger and better like one of the first castles was the motte and bailey witch was made out of wood, that changed into a concentric castle with two walls, a moat, a portcullise, a babbican and a draw bridge!

Most people who lived in castles were members of a castle garrison. Some castles were occupied by the lords or kings who owned them, but castles were usually sufficiently uncomfortable that the owners lived elsewhere, possibly in nearby manor houses. When the owners lived in the castles, servants and workers of various kinds would also have lived there.

There's security guards in and out the castle and there's no need to know who lives in it.
