a bailey is purple and made out of stone and a wall is hard.

If they were lucky they had a well that was able to give a continual source of water. If there was no well then they had to bring water to the castle. That could be by carrying buckets of water from a river or lake to the castle. There were people that had that as a job. If the castle was in an area where there was a lot of rain they got smart and collected the rain for use.

The name of the castle as "medieval" places it in the time it was built. The Middle Ages is a time in history that covers a 1000 years of time and when a historian states that something is medieval or in the middle ages it places it on the timeline.

motte and bailey

Conwy was built during the reign of Edward I between 1283 and 1289 as part of the 'iron ring' of castles to contain the Welsh. The strength of the castle was its rough stone ediface high on a rock guarding the Conwy estuary.

A constable is a volunteer police officer.

Constables do the same job as police officers, but they have slightly less authority and slightly less powers.
Many police officers in the UK volunteer are constables first, before signing up to become a full officer, to get some field experience.

We do not really know who built the first castle, when the first castle was built, or even what castle it was.

There is a link below to a related question, where there is more information.

First you would perhaps besiege the castle which is to surround it. You could then send sappers in which are people that did under the castle walls and then set fire to the wall with pig fat. on a stone keep castle, sappers would often dig under the corner of the castle as here, their were no windows so nobody could see what they were doing! Next, you could use a siege tower to climb over the castle walls, and then you could use long bowers to shoot arrows over the castle walls. Then, you would use a trebauchet (pronounced: TREBUCHAY) and a mangonel which are both forms of catapults! You would load the catapult with animal carcases, dead bodies and rocks! you could also use a battering ram to ram down a wall or door. A battering ram was a tree trunk with a metal ram head on the front. It would be hauled into walls or doors! Hope this helped!!

Castle walls were not intended to store heat. Part of the problem of castles was that most of the rooms in them were not heated at all, and in most castles the parts that were heated needed open windows or louvers in the roof to let the smoke out because they did not have chimneys. When people say they were cold and drafty, they are telling the truth.

Stone also conducts heat pretty efficiently, so even in modern times, with windows and heaters that do not give off smoke into rooms, they tend to feel cold.

That their is no answers for because there are different size castles all over the world so they will all have a different amount of windows.

Yes, 13 is too old for a bounce house/castle.

The Bastion castle, developed about the 15th Century was an advance in that there were outside the walls, no spaces that were concealed from view.

From a Military point of view, Angled Bastions were the superior design. Sometimes called Triangula bastion.

The first castle was a wooden fortification built on the orders of William the Conqueror in 1067 (one year after the Battle of Hastings). There may have been an earlier Anglo-Saxon fort on the site but no evidence exists. It was later replaced by a stone structure during the 12th century. This was inhabited by nobles and Royalty until it was abandoned during Richard the Lionheart's crusade. The Sheriff of Nottingham occupied the abandoned castle at this point. Prince John's supporters took over the castle being besieged on Richards return from the Holy lands. The castle and the surrounding Sherwood and Barnsdale deer forests are the siting of the Robin Hood stories around this time. The castle was further expanded in the following centuries until artillery made castles such as these obsolete. Charles I raised his standard outside the castle but English civil war skirmishes reduced much of an already damaged castle to little more than a defensive position. The parliamentarians occupied it eventually and successfully defended it. It was raised to the ground after Charles's execution to prevent it being used again. After the restoration of the monarchy a ducal mansion was built on the site which later burnt down. It was later restored in the 19th century and this is the building on the site today acting as a museum with only some of the outer medieval fortifications showing.

Pitch could be a substance like tar derived from petroleum, but during the Middle Ages, it was more likely to be a resin from plants or a creosote tar from the process of making charcoal. It was boiled to make it very hot and fluid, so it could be poured from castle walls on people below, especially men operating a battering ram. It would burn whoever it hit, and could not be wiped off easily, but the worst of the thing was that it would ignite easily, so the men could be set on fire.

No major military battles were fought at Conisbrough Castle.

There was, however, a skirmish in 1317 between the feuding de Warenne Family who owned Conisbrough and their neighbor Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. Thomas seized the Castle of Conisbrough and held it for five years as his possession.

In 1322, Thomas was executed as a traitor and King Edward II confiscated the castle, which he returned to the de Warenne family in 1326.

they needed a place to stay. It was cold outside.
