In future, you should post this in the Chess Forum, but for the rules governing castling see here:

The king can only move more than one square during a castling move. To castle, the king moves two square towards the rook, and rook moves to the other side of the king. This is all one move. You may only castle when :

* All the squares between your king and rook are unoccupied.
* The king has not moved yet
* The rook involved in the castle has not moved yet
* The king is not in check
* The king will not move into check
* The king will not move through a square being attacked

You cancastle after you have been checked as long as you not castling out of check and you have not moved your king. True.

Putting on trousers does not forfeit your right to Castle.
