Do Only Prince's live in castle?

The prince is not the only person to live in the castle. Some of the richest towns people live there and the poor go in the castle to sell things at market. In some castles the prince is the only one to live in there. In castles mostly all have a chapel of a place of worship for the prince.

Castle Prisons.

Some castles have prisons but some don't. The castles that do have them the prison room's are very small. With a little bench or not ever a bench. Some have windows but some are just dark and scary, pitch black. The doors had a little small opening so the prisoner could get their food. In some castle's the prison was at the tallest point so intruders could not break them out. The way to go to the prison is you had to disobey the prince or you committed a crime of you are just a prisoner of war. I would hate to go to a prison. they sound horrible.

Protective features of a Castle.

Some protective features of a castle are a moat witch is a river going around the castle. I would not want to fall into that. Another feature is the big walls that the castle has around it so enemy's cant climb into the castle. A draw bridge is a protective feature because that is the only way in and out of the castle but there might be a secret way out of the castle.Most castles have one secret way out because if the enemy get in the city the price and people can get out that way. castles had big crossbows on top of the big walls to shoot the enemy. That would be cool to shoot but not to die by though. castles have also

      

Castle structure

Some castles were made of wood, stone, brick. That’s some strong stuff.

Most castles was built on a cliff or had a moat around them. Even thought

Most castles were made of stone most of them had a very large walls and so

High that people could not climb over them. All castles had some prisons .

     One castle was made of clay. Most castles were big and had tall towers and most castles could hold large amounts of people for the market and such. Did you know that some castles have a escape hole of tunnel leading out of the castle so if they get attacked the people can flee the castle. Some castles have many rooms. One king slept in a different room every night do people could not kill him. That is a very smart idea though. I wouldn't want to die in my own castle.  

When was the first mediaval castle built.

The first castle ever recorded was build in 900 A.D. That’s a long time ago. The first castle was built out of wood. You think now that would hold nothing but back then people traveled on horses and fought with swords so the wood could hold a lot of force. The castle was reported to be in Italy made by Vikings. The castles had big walls and had a moat around it.

Also, had a draw bridge like castles do now. Some of the first castles were built on cliffs and rocks. So don’t fall of the castle wall. In the first castle the prince and his warriors lived in the castle. After the first castle was built many other towns and kings started to build castles too. In the picture to the right you can see that the first castle was built on a hill or had a moat around it.
