Hadrian's Wall was a defensive fortification built in northern England under the orders of Roman Emperor Hadrian in 122 AD. It stretched over 120 kilometers across northern Britain to defend Roman-controlled farms and trade routes from raids by the Picts who lived north of the wall in modern-day Scotland. The wall had small forts called milecastles spaced at regular intervals along with towers called turrets. Soldiers lived in barracks within the milecastles and patrolled the wall. A ditch and road further enhanced its defenses. Hadrian's Wall marked the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire in Britain until Roman forces withdrew in the late 4th century AD.

Hadrian's Wall
Hadrian's Wall was built in the 2nd century AD under the Roman Emperor Hadrian to protect Roman Britain from invaders from the north. It extended 73 miles across northern Britain and was constructed by over 7,000 Roman soldiers over 5 years. It featured a stone wall up to 15 feet high with a ditch on either side and 17 forts along it where soldiers were garrisoned. One of the best preserved forts is Housesteads, where 1,000 infantrymen from southern Belgium were stationed. Though its importance declined after Hadrian's death, Hadrian's Wall remains a popular tourist site today that gives visitors a glimpse into Roman Britain.
Hadrian
Hadrian was a Roman emperor from 117-138 AD known for his extensive travels and architectural projects throughout the empire. He succeeded Trajan as the 14th emperor. Hadrian spent much of his reign traveling to provinces to oversee administration and ensure military discipline. As a ruler, he was considered just and focused on public works, border security, and avoiding major conflicts. His most significant architectural achievement was Hadrian's Wall in Britain, which marked the northern border. He also built cities, aqueducts, and structures like the Pantheon and his magnificent mausoleum Castel Sant'Angelo, some of which still stand today.

The document provides a detailed history of the development of the Tower of London from its construction in the late 11th century through the 20th century. It traces how the Tower evolved from a Norman castle built by William the Conqueror to protect London, to a palace, prison, treasury, mint and home to the Crown Jewels and menagerie over the centuries. Key developments included expansions under Henry III and Edward I that doubled the size of the fortress and enclosures, and its increasing role as a high-security prison during the Tudor period for religious and political prisoners under Henry VIII and his successors.

Castles
Castles were fortified structures built during the Middle Ages predominantly for nobility and royalty. They had features like moats, curtain walls with arrow slits, and keeps for defense. The word "castle" derives from the Latin "castellum" meaning fortified place. Castles served as residences for royalty as well as military defenses. Famous castles include Windsor Castle in England, Cite de Carcassonne in France, Hohensalzburg Castle in Austria, and Malbork Castle in Poland, the largest castle by area.

The French castles
French castles evolved over centuries from wooden fortifications in the 10th century to ornate stone palaces by the 15th century Renaissance. Early castles had moats, dirt mounds and wooden walls for protection, later adding layers of stone walls. By the 17th century, castles like Versailles were no longer military fortresses but grand residences for royalty and nobility, with hundreds of rooms, ornate design, and luxurious furnishings. The daily life of a lord and servants within a medieval castle centered around protection, accommodation and supplying food, while later grand palaces like Versailles established strict routines and ceremonies for royalty.
The Fifth Crusade
The Fifth Crusade took place from 1217-1221 with the goals of retaking Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim control. Pope Innocent III and Pope Honorius III organized armies from Hungary, Austria, the Netherlands, Flanders, Frisia, and Germany to launch attacks against the powerful Egyptian Ayyubid state, which first required the capture of the port city of Damietta. Although Damietta was taken, the crusaders later faced defeat after being attacked at night while marching toward Cairo, forcing their surrender. This resulted in the loss of crusader lives and supplies, but also led to an eight-year peace treaty between Europe and the Egyptian Sultan Al-Kamil.

Before the Romans invaded, Celtic tribes lived in Britain in hillforts and villages without towns or roads. The Romans invaded in AD 43 and controlled southern Britain for 400 years, until departing in AD 410. New settlers then arrived, called Anglo-Saxons, who were a mixture of peoples from Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, including Saxons, Angles, Jutes, Franks, and Frisians. They lived as farmers in villages rather than cities and some were also sailors who built ships to trade and settle in new lands.

The early history of Britain was shaped by successive invasions over centuries. The Celts first arrived in Britain around 700-600 BC and built structures like Stonehenge. The Romans then invaded in the 1st century AD and controlled southern Britain until 410 AD, leaving behind constructions like Hadrian's Wall. Following the Romans' departure, the Anglo-Saxons invaded and established kingdoms across Britain in the 5th-6th centuries AD. The last invasion was by the Normans in 1066 AD under William the Conqueror.

Dover Castle was built between 1180-1185 by King Henry II as one of the last castles constructed by English kings in the 11th-12th centuries. It was designed by Maurice the Engineer and served as both a royal palace and traveling court. As the largest castle in England, located only 22 miles from France, Dover guarded the gateway to England and was fortified during threats of French invasion. During World War II, the castle's tunnels were converted for use as air raid shelters and medical stations, demonstrating the site's enduring historical and military significance over nearly a thousand years.
