Argument
When I was little, like almost every girl, my main wish was to become a princess. I
was dreaming of being very beautiful and smart and that everyone would love me. I
would have defeated every witch or ogre standing in my way and, despite the usual fairy
tales, I was the one rescuing my Prince Charming.
But, in order to be a truly princess, I needed a castle to live in. I wanted beautiful
enormous towers, which were very colorful, with a huge garden and a pound in which I
would have had mermaids and dolphins. It would have been the greatest castle in the
whole kingdom.
As I grew up, I discovered that castles are not even nearly as I have pictured them,
but that did not stop me from liking them anymore. hat is one of the reasons I chose this
theme.
Another reason would be the fact that I perceive castles as very imposing monuments.
hey are a proof of kings! greatness, of their e"istence. Besides, castles are full of
mystery. #very single castle has a different intriguing story.
$o, in a few words, these are the reasons for which I have chosen %Castles and
palaces in #ngland! as theme for my pro&ect. A castle is a properly fortified military residence.Initially, they were designed andbuilt to hold down con'uered territory. hey also served to intimidate and strike fear into
the local people, places of refuge or places for the lords to live. hey were impressive
symbols of the power and wealth of their owners.(orman castles were built from the
))th to )*th centuries.
Castles were brought to Britain by William the Con'ueror, when he invaded #ngland
from his homeland in +rance. nown as the -uke of (ormandy, William invaded
#ngland in )// and, due to his victory in Battle of 0astings , William was crowned as
the ing of #ngland, and became ing William I. 1ne of the most powerful ways for
William to take control of his new kingdom, which included #ngland, $cotland and
Wales, was to have castles built throughout the land.
