Castle: the word "castle" used alone generally signifies either a single 
"tower," or two towers with a gate between them. A "castle triple-towered" is 
represented in the ensign of the kingdom of Castile, and is frequently found 
quartered in the arms of Queen Eleanor. The illustration is from glass still 
existing in Dorchester Church, Oxon. (Also in:  Gules, three castles 
triple-towered within the royal tressure argent -- Burgh of Aberdeen.)
  Amongst other varieties which occur, are "triangular" and "quadrangular" castles; castles seen in perspective, and castles extending quite across the field. Castles are also described as "domed," "turreted," "embattled," "breached," &c., and it is not uncommon to describe in detail towers, gates, loopholes, windows, vanes, portcullises, and the like. Where the masonry is shown by the addition of lines the term "masoned" is used. The windows and doors are sometimes represented as of a different tincture, and then are supposed to be closed; and the same if they are of that of the castle itself; but if of the tincture of the field they are supposed to be open, and the term "ajouré" might be used. "Coulissé" signifies that the portcullis is down. (Examples: Gules, a castle towered and domed argent, masoned sable; on the dome a flag -- Town of Barnstaple, Devon. Sable, a castle with towers turreted in perspective argent standing in water wavy azure and argent -- Castleford. Per fesse azure and argent; in base on a rock a castle breached, the Indian colours struck and flag-staff proper; in chief two eagles rising or -- Stibbert, London (1768). Argent, a castle (or tower) triple-towered sable, chained transverse the port or -- Oldcastle, Kent. Per fesse vert and gules, in base a lion passant guardant or; in chief a quadrangle of castles walled argent -- Town of Lancaster. Argent, on a rock proper a castle triple-towered and embattled sable, masoned of the first, and topped with three vanes gules, windows and portcullis shut of the last -- City of Edinburgh.)
  Sometimes the terms "fort," "fortress," "citadel," &c., are used. The castle, too, may be surrounded with a fortification. (Examples: Vert, on a chevron embattled ... &c.; a chief charged with the gates and fortress of Seringapatam proper -- Harris, Baron Harris, 1815. Per chevron azure and argent .... and on a chief silver the fortress of Khelat; a canton charged with the Dooranee badge -- Wiltshire, 1840. Per chevron vert and argent; on a chevron or between, in chief two castles of the second, in base another surrounded by a fortification proper, three torteaux -- Green, Kent, Baronetcy, 1786.)
  In connection with the Castle the Barbican (that is to say the advanced work) is described in some insignia, and the projecting turrets overhanging the embattled wall, called Bartizans, in others. Other additions are occasionally named, e.g. a trench, or the castle, may be standing in water or surrounded by a wall. (Examples: Gules, two barbican of a castle having loopholes, gate, and portcullis, with two pointed side tower; on each of the latter a pennon waving argent, and ensigned on the centre of the battlement by a royal coronet or -- Town of Doncaster. Gules, out of water in base, on embattled wall enclosing a castle with three gables from the embattled parapet, a piece of tapestry hung along the front between the bartizans and displaying three shields [shields described] ... Town of Newcastle-under-Lyne.)
  The badge of Jane Seymour, third queen of Henry VIII., blazoned upon a grant of lands made to her in 1536, presents a good example of a castle. The tincture are as follows: The walls argent, the ground vert, the tree of the same fructed gules, the phœnix or, in flames proper, and the roses alternately white and red. (See attached.)
  The "castle" is borne very frequently in the insignia of cities and towns, with other charges; of these insignia, however, the evidence is often only derived from the seal.
