Orlando Bandinelli from Siena was teacher of law in Bologna when he was appointed Cardinal in 1153 and Chancellor of the Roman Church in 1156. As such he was an influential counsellor of Hadrian IV.. At the election of the successor the Cardinal assembly could not agree on a common choice, the anti-imperial majority voted for Orlando on 07.09.1159 who called himself Alexander III., the minority of Emperor supporters voted for Octavian who acted as Counter-Pope Victor IV. until 1164. The schism was continued with the Counter-Popes Paschalis III., Calixtus III. and Innozenz III. until 1180. Alexander's pontificate was determined by the struggle with his counter-papal opponents who were positioned by Emperor Barbarossa. After Alexander could defeat Barbarossa in the Battle of Legnano in 1176 by support of the Lombardy urban alliance Barbarossa dropped Calixtus III., in the peace treaty of Venice in 1177 Friedrich I. refrained from occupying Church property. The Lateran Concilium of 1179 determined that for a valid Pope election a two third majority would be imperative. Furthermore the French Waldensians, Catharians and Albigensians were condemned and Sanctification was declared an exclusive papal privilege. During the pontificate of Alexander also the severe conflict with the English National Church took place. Alexander had supported Thomas Becket, archbishop of Canterbury who was murdered in his cathedral in 1170 and Sanctified by the Pope in the same year. Alexander III., one of the most powerful medieval Popes, died on 30.08.1181.
Some ladies, even queens, lived in castles, though I doubt many liked it. Castles were forts, for the most part, and they were usually not nice places to live.
After William the Conqueror took England, there was a period of unrest that lasted for quite a few years. Members of the nobility often lived in castles during this period for their own protection. Later, as things settled down, many moved to manor houses, which were more comfortable.
King Edward II was born in a castle that was under construction in Wales. His father had taken Wales, and was building a series of great castles to protect his interests from rebellion. The fact that Queen Eleanor was living there was entirely due to these efforts.
Some castles had fairly comfortable apartments in them for their lords, and some noble families continued to live in castles. Apart from the inconvenience, however, castles were also very expensive to maintain. Also, some castles were really just fortified manor houses, and these were easier to deal with.

Diarmuid McMorrough, a former king of Ireland, who wanted help to get his throne back, in 1169.
When william the conquerer conquered england he introduced castles from france, he used them to try and control the english, as a symbol of power, somewhere safe to keep an eye on people, somewhere for prisoners, somewhere where his soldiers could retreat to if they were under attack. first wooden motte and bailey castles were built as a tempory measure, and where then developed into stone castles, which were stronger and more long lasting, as you can see they still last today.
England has approximately 1500 towns; Wales about 200; Scotland about 250, and Northern Ireland about 40. So the total for the UK is about 2000.

William the Conquerer controled Britain by setting up lots of Motte and Bailey castles around the Countory. Each castle was controlled by one of his trusted barons. Lots of the Motte and Bailey castles later turned into stone castles.
He succeeded in controlling England as it stroke fear into Englishmen. Despite all this, there were still many rebelliens.
The Normans started building castles straight away after winning the Battle of Hastings, starting with one at Hastings itself. Then others sprang up such as the one at Tonbridge in Kent. These early castles were wooden structures perched on top of an artificial mound called a motte and surrounded by a ditch filled with water and a rampart enclosing a courtyard or bailey. Later castles, made of stone, were built all over England, but especially in the Welsh border country where the local population were troublesome. Here were built the massive Chepstow, Pembroke, Caerphilly, Cardiff and Kidwelly castles - all still standing today.
