Please can someone tell me why castles were built, and what they were for?

Jimmyboy T, castles were mainly used for war. Remember, castles were giant fortresses.

Jimmy, this same question was just asked in another post, and answered very well also. You should read past posts, especially those from the last few days before asking questions. You will find the answers to many questions already here.

Toughguy,
Castles were not all giant fortresses! Please do some research before answering questions.
Castles were fortified homes in most cases, but not always well fortified at that and rearely did they reach "giant" proportions.
