The English Castles.
One of the few
places where kings and lords in the Middle Ages could feel safe was behind the
Thick stone walls of their castles. There, they and their men could fight off
attacks by bandits and set out long sieges * by invading* armies.
As castles
developed, they became larger and more comfortable. A wallwalk ran right around
the top, and through each tower. Soldiers could run from one point of attack to
another without ever showing themselves to their enemies. Castles had rounded
towers and square towers and served a dual purpose: any castle was always both
a fortress and a private residence, a home, to the king or lord, members of the
family and their servants. In practice the castle had other functions too
because it was the centre of local administration. There was usually at least
one chapel, a prison, a treasury and an armoury there.
There are many
castles all over Britain. One of them, Windsor Castle, is one of the Queen’s
official residences. It is situated in Windsor, a town in South England on the
river Thames.
