Castles

It wasn't won exactly on the 19th of October King John died. But

Prince Louis excepted a large amount of money and went home. King Henry iii ended up King of England.

Concentric Castle are big in size. They not easy to attack by other empires who want to take you over. Concentric Castle were also good because they were made out of stone. Stone is flameproof and doesn't rot like Motte and Bailey castles.

In Europe. Like England, Ireland, Scotland.

Bricks weren't used to build castles, but stone and wood.

Queens travelled in carriages that were called chariots at the time, and had two wheels. I don't know how they differed from military chariots, but you can bet they were more comfortable. They also had six wheeled vehicles that apparently looked like little houses on wheels. I have read descriptions of these, but have not seen a picture. I don't know how they turned, but they seem to have had three axles.

I don't know how Eleanor of Aquitaine travelled on crusade, but since there were over 300 women with her, I would guess she might have travelled on horseback.

In towns and cities, and especially when they did not want to be noticed, queens had the option of travelling in sedan chairs.

If it wasn't possible to divert a stream the moat would be filled by rainwater in a few months. It rains a lot in England and Wales where a lot of the moated castles were built.

They were defended by an army of soldiers and many other things, such as a moat surrounding it. The moat would be good, as the attackers would need to row a boat through it or swim. They would be easy targets for the archers on the top of the castle.

Another thing that helps defend a stone castle is a curtain wall to prevent fires alighting and as a strong shield. These type of castles had high walls to make sure climbing intruders would need a longer time to get on top.

They had battlements like a crenel and merlon so that defenders can fire missiles through them.

Machiolations are boxes that have holes in them so that boiling oil or stones could be dropped onto attackers.

Hope this helped. (:

Rochester in Kent, England was a Roman town and there was a Roman fort there but the castle as it is now was not started until some 500 years after the Britain ceased to be part of The Roman Empire.

Rochester Castle is more usually described as a Norman Castle.

Doing a little research, I find that the least expensive castles, which were of wooden construction and very simple, cost 20 pounds and up, and the most expensive cost about 15,000 to 20,000 pounds. This was at a time when annual rent on a cottage was about 5 shillings and on a master craftsman's house was about 20 shillings or 1 pound. See the links below.

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.

the laws that existed in medieval that existed was don't belive tarli holder and Hannah gordan

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.
