Blank Space I currently am taking World History in 9th grade (age 14-15) which now we are studying Medieval Times. The teacher, has assigned a project due on Thursday the 20th.
I would appreciate it if I got some links to some sites that would give me good floor plans of real castles and info on these rooms. Some links to sitres with pictures of the exterior part of castles would be great too. As I need captions with the pictures though.
Here is what I am supposed to do (quoted from the paper thats supposed to guide me):

quote:

It is 1195 and you have been chosen by the city of Dublin to design a new castle. You must submit a design, including an external view of the castle and a floor plan to city officials. They have given you a lot of freedom, but there are some things that must appear in your castle:
Kings Chamber
Queens Chamber
Weapons Storage
Dungeon
Servants Quarters
Kitchen
Chapel
Passage Ways (quite confused on this one)
Grand Banquet Hall, etc
There is more to it but I can do the others easily.

Mistress of All Evil I'm confused. Is your model supposed to reflect real castels or is it supposed to be entirely your own? In other words are you looking for examples or is your project supposed to be built from other castles?

renagade_of_funk666 Im doing the same stuff in history. I have only started and its due the 16th of the month. I have 2 design a coat of arms and the floor plan of a castle. I am doing great at the coat of arms but the castle isn't just isn't my favorite part. I got the stuff you have on your list but still have to fill a lot of space. I was given measuremants for the castle and am required to fill all the space. I have made everything as big as I thought realistic but am still in trouble. My group isn't working that great with me either. In our project there are four roles: cartographer, herald/architect(me), knight, and someone that has to do with the church. If you get some good links that could do me some good I wouldn't mind getting them. the best I have done so far is to search on google. That is a huge waste of time. I will post some stuff if I get it.
Mistress of All Evil If you need to fill space make an inner and outer moat of make the dining area as big as you want (they were huge)

renagade_of_funk666 I am horrible at history so my teacher has been making sure I am actually accomlishing something. When I told him I planned on making the dining hall bigger he said it was already unrealiatically huge. I had to down scale a bit and that didn't help any. I made battlement on the top wall which made that floor easy to complete. The teacher said he liked the idea of the battlements but thought I had to big an armoury up there. How big do you think dungeons should be. If I made mine a bit bigger I would be able get rid of some of the useless stuff I have already started putting in to make room. I amm thinking of garbaging everything I am done so far and starting over. Im outta here.
fallenangel if you need some help go to www.score.rims.k12.ca.us/activity/castle_builder/ they give you a whole bunch of info on what they had for rooms and what they are and stuff like that, if you click on the first link on the page that says click here do it and then click on castles, it gives you tons of info, good luck!
