Who lived in castles?
When you picture a castle, you probably see a knight in shining armor, a princess in a tall tower, maybe a dragon guarding the gate. But castles weren't built for fairy tales — they were real fortresses where real people lived, worked, fought, and ruled for hundreds of years.
The lord owned the castle. He was a powerful noble — a duke, a count, or a baron — who controlled the land for miles around. The castle was his headquarters, his courthouse, his army base, and his home, all rolled into one. If you wanted justice, protection, or to pay your taxes, you came to him.
