Well, I was looking at an encyclopaedia and was looking at a "Late Midieval
Castle"...it had the keep to one side of the castle, surrounded by walls
inside these walls had a residence, hall, inner court, and a barracks.
Note: the main keep was its own entity to the side.
Outside the walls (inner walls), held an even larger outer court (surrounded
by another set of walls)...this contained the chapel, stables, storehouses,
and shops...
(not shown...) but I assume that outside the castle held the farms / houses
where the peasants lived.

Well, besides a blacksmith shop and bakery, the usual tavern and a chapel
(depending on how "religious" you want your monarch to be), a market place

Yes, that is a very good way to get your pictures digitized. The only
problem I have with that is the pictures tend to be scanned in at ultra
high resolution, so your audience has to wait a long time to download your
images if they are using dial-up. Also, the upload time is fierce.
