Castles did not just appear, but rather evolved over a long time. The
|
|
first castles were nothing more than wooden forts. But by the 15th century
|
|
they had evolved into magnificent works of art.
|
|
|
|
Castles have been around since before history was recorded. The first
|
|
forms of castles were for protection, and evolved from the structures that
|
|
fortified many Roman cities. This form of castle evolved into the
|
|
Motte-and-bailey castle, which consisted of a wooden citadel placed atop a
|
|
motte (hill), and a larger courtyard below, both were enclosed by a wooden
|
|
fortification, and usually surrounded by a moat.
|
|
|
|
The Motte-and-bailey lasted untill near the end of the 10th century
|
|
when the Normans introduced stone to the original castles, and improved on
|
|
their defensive capabilities. During this time period (10th-12th century)
|
|
there were many wars between lords in the feudal system, and the castle
|
|
became a prominent part of the manor.
|
|
|
|
In the 12th century, the crusades introduced a new type of castle,
|
|
which reflected the infleunce of the Byzantine fortifications. One of the
|
|
major improvements over the old design was the introduction of towers to
|
|
the outside walls. No longer were the walls in a rectangular form as was
|
|
prominent between the 10th and 12th centuries. Lords began to make their
|
|
castles more complex, and add a new aspect, comfort.
|
|
|
|
Between the 14th, and 16th century castles lost their importance. Partly
|
|
because of the formation of monarchy, and centralized government. But also
|
|
because of the development of gunpowder which made the fortifications
|
|
impractical. Many castles were remodeled to form more practical living
|
|
quarters. Some castles were unable to be remodled, and were sold simpley
|
|
for the value of the building materials.
|
|
|
|
Many castles still exist today. They serve as tourist attractions.
|
|
Some are even still inhabited, and have been converted for use as a
|
|
chateau. The tower of London is an example of the later Motte-and-bailey
|
|
castle. It now serves as a tourist attraction. One of the few castles in
|
|
the U.S. is the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, Flardia. It was
|
|
built by the Spaniards between 1672 and 1760. It had walls 30 feet high
|
|
and 15 feet wide it is the largest surviving castle in the U.S. .
