We have castles today because in the 1100's-1500's
all kings and queens lived in castles. Who ever lived in the castle controlled who lived inside or even came inside. Most of the time if there was a storm who ever was outside could come in and they would close the gates and when the storm stopped they would leave. Some times if there where travelers from other places they would get to stay in the castle over night and leave when they were ready. |
History2. history of medieval castles- The first medieval castles where made of wood. But wood burns down down to easily so people started making stone castles in about 1100 CE. Mainly only kings queens and the people they wanted with them were allowed in. Some of the time they would let in other people if there is a storm or another disaster. Medieval Stone castles where built until the 1500's after that they weren't very popular.
