Castles are different???

1. Castles are different??? • No two castles are the same and all your castles should and will be different too. Different time periods and peoples made different castle designs. • Use YOUR definitions to complete this project. They might be different because castles were made over 1000 of years. • I will grade YOU based on your definitions and how YOU design your blue print.

2. Castle Definitions • Allure - Walkway along the top of a wall. • Arch - Can be round-headed, pointed, two-centered, or drop; ogee - pointed with double curved sides, upper arcs lower concave; lancet - pointed formed on an acute-angle triangle; depressed - flattened or elliptical; corbelled - triangular, peaked, each stone set a little further in until they meet, with a large capstone. • Bailey - The ward or courtyard inside the castle walls, includes exercise area, parade ground, emergency corral • Barbican - The gateway or outworks defending the drawbridge. • Battlement - Parapet with indentations or embrasures, with raised portions (merlons) between; a narrow wall built along the outer edge of the wall walk for protection against attack. • Buttress - Wall projection for extra support; flying - narrow, arched bridge against the structure; pilaster - gradually recedes into the structure as it ascends. • Crosswall - Interior dividing wall; structural. • Drawbridge - A heavy timber platform built to span a moat between a gatehouse and surrounding land that could be raised when required to block an entrance. • Dungeon - The jail, usually found in one of the towers. • Gallery - Long passage or room.

3. Castle Definitions • Garderobe - A small latrine or toilet either built into the thickness of the wall or projected out from it; projects from the wall as a small, rectangular bartizan • Gate House - The complex of towers, bridges, and barriers built to protect each entrance through a castle or town wall. • Great chamber - Lord's solar, or bed-sitting room. • Hall - Principal room or building in complex. • Keep - A strong stone tower; main tower; donjon; stronghold. • Moat - A deep trench usually filled with water that surrounded a castle. • Murder Holes - A section between the main gate and a inner portcullis where arrows, rocks, and hot oil can be dropped from the roof though holes. Provides good cover for defenders and leaves the attacker open. Only used when outer gate has been breach. • Outer Curtain - The wall the encloses the outer ward. • Outer Ward - The area around the outside of and adjacent to the inner curtain. • Parados - Low wall on the inner side of main wall or rear wall of a wall-walk. • Parapet - Low wall on outer side of main wall. • Postern Gate - A side or less important gate into a castle; usually for peacetime use by pedestrians • Rampart - Defensive stone or earth wall surrounding castle. • Turret - Small tower, round or polygonal; usually a lookout. • Wicket - Person-sized door set into the main gate door.

4. Gallery Dungeon Outer Curtain • Dungeon - The jail, usually found in one of the towers. • Gallery - Long passage or room. • Gate House - The complex of towers, bridges, and barriers built to protect each entrance through a castle or town wall. • Hall - Principal room or building in complex • Moat - A deep trench usually filled with water that surrounded a castle. • Outer Ward - The area around the outside of and adjacent to the inner curtain. • Outer Curtain - The wall the encloses the outer ward.

5. Crosswall Garderobe Bailey - The ward or courtyard inside the castle walls, includes exercise area, parade ground, emergency corral Crosswall - Interior dividing wall; structural. Drawbridge - A heavy timber platform built to span a moat between a gatehouse and surrounding land that could be raised when required to block an entrance. Garderobe - A small latrine or toilet either built into the thickness of the wall or projected out from it; projects from the wall as a small, rectangular bartizan Keep - A strong stone tower; main tower; donjon; stronghold.

6. Great chamber Allure • Allure - Walkway along the top of a wall. • Battlement - Parapet with indentations or embrasures, with raised portions (merlons) between; a narrow wall built along the outer edge of the wall walk for protection against attack. • Barbican - The gateway or outworks defending the drawbridge. • Donjon - A strong stone tower; main tower; keep; stronghold. • Great chamber - Lord's solar, or bed-sitting room. • Postern Gate - A side or less important gate into a castle; usually for peacetime use by pedestrians

Turret - Small tower, round or polygonal; usually a lookout.

8. Buttress - Wall projection for extra support; flying - narrow, arched bridge against the structure; pilaster - gradually recedes into the structure as it ascends.

9. Murder Holes - A section between the main gate and a inner portcullis where arrows, rocks, and hot oil can be dropped from the roof though holes. Provides good cover for defenders and leaves the attacker open. Only used when outer gate has been breach.

10. Wicket - Person-sized door set into the main gate door.

11. The Model • I understand that creating a model with all 25 items is nearly impossible, so just do your best and include as many parts as you can. I want all items in your blue print, but not all items on your model. • Have fun, be creative, and do the best you can!
