= = =Early Medieval Castle Architecture was called [|Romanesque] and the later style of Medieval Castle Architecture was Edwardian, Perpendicular, or Gothic. The history of Medieval Castle Architecture started by the Normans. Some knights saw magnificent fortresses from the Byzantine Empire and these massive castles influenced Middle Ages castle building ideas, architecture, and engineering.=


 * Windsor Castle **

==[|Windsor Castle], the biggest castle in England, one of the three homes for the queen. It is the largest inhabited fortress in the world. Castles, built on hilltops and surrounded by a moat gave those inside castles an advantage over attackers. Castles were built to provide safety and protection from attack and to display the owner's rank and wealth.==


 * Castle Residence **

==**During the late Middle Ages kings and lords lived in castles.** **So did the lord, the lady, their family, and many staff members.** **Servants slept in the castle.** **The farming peasants who grew food for the castle's inhabitants lived on cottages on the lord's estate.** Servants, such as cooks, craftsmen, and spinners performed everyday tasks.==

==**During the middle ages bread the basic food. Flour** **made for the castle ground at the lord's own miller by his mill.** On special occasions the wealthy people at the castle ate swans and peacocks. **Medieval people like meat and fish that was not yet salted.** **Meat was salted in large wooden vats so that the food would not spoil.**==
