Castles

Nothing. It is dirt and weeds.

I am by no means a castle expert, but I know a thing or two about building houses. Also I think its safe to say that 'heating techniques' probably varied by region and epoch.

The Short answer is: 1. Heated 'masses'. and 2. building fire was a science to people.

A common house design going back a couple hundred years includes a centrally located large fireplace and hearth to serve various purposes. Seeing as fire was the most advanced technology the people in question had at the time, fire would have been very central in their lives.

A large fireplace capable of safely burning full size logs, several feet long would need to be sturdily built. With brick or stone enclosures (and chimneys) several feet thick.

A fire place 5' tall x 7' long x 4' deep, could possibly involve over 100 cubic feet of stone heated to 800 or 900 degrees. There is what you call a 'heated mass'. Five or Six or who knows how many strategically placed large fires could certainly provide enough heat for a large structure.

Furthermore the actual building of a fire was a highly advanced skill for both men and women. They understood that different types of material burn at different rates, lights, and heats. If somebody had the means, one could have materials (wood) from other regions brought to them.

It's called a loop-hole or sometimes an arrow loop

One word; Cannons.

Castles made of stone make perfect sense and are an excellent defense against arrows or swords. But a cannonball can knock holes in your stone walls, and then knock down the walls themselves.

After the development of cannons and artillery, "castles" changed shape; the new "anti-artillery castle" was the star fort, where you could position your OWN cannons to knock back the cannons that were shooting at you.

No, concentric castles were built after stone keep castles.

Castle Howard is located in North Yorkshire, England. Castle Howard isn't considered a true castle, because it was not built for military use. Castle Howard is a private residence built between 1699 and 1712.

The military commander of a castle was called a castellan. The castellan might also be the majordomo, running the civilian staff as well. In French the same position was called a Chatelain. In German the same position was called a Burgmann.

If the question is who might otherwise posses a castle rather than a king or queen, then there would have been middle rank nobles who had a castle of some sort. While we tend to think of castles as elaborate stone structures, many were simpler. A more basic castle might be a simple stone keep with a surrounding wall, either of stone or or wood. Another basic castle style was the shell keep, which is a round stone wall, with wooden or stone structures built backing to the exterior wall, and with an open central courtyard.
