When was the curtain wall castle built?

Answer 1

A curtain wall is a type of defensive wall forming part of the defenses of some medieval castles. A curtain wall, or enclosing wall, of a castle bounded or enclosed the castle. Most often it was attached to the towers and gatehouse. There are examples of walls dividing or splitting a bailey into two wards, and this is called a cross-curtain. Some curtain walls would be built around the bailey of a motte castle.

Answer 2

The curtain wall was the main wall of the castle. It was usually surrounded by a moat or other feature that made it hard to approach. It was usually high enough that it would be hard to scale with a ladder, even if an attacker could get a ladder to it. It was thick enough to withstand impact from stones thrown by catapults. It had a walkway along the top, on the inside, protected from the enemy, but where defenders could shoot arrows at the enemy or attack anyone who managed to scale the wall. At intervals, it had towers or bastions, that projected from it and had slit windows so archers could shoot at anyone attacking.
