Why did the Normans build their first castle out of wood?
The Normans invaded England in 1066 and after killing England's King, they set about taking over the whole country. In order to do this, they needed to build defenses to protect themselves while they advanced across the rest of the country.The Normans built motte and bailey castles to begin with. These castles were quick to build using just earth and timber. Later, once William the Conqueror, the leader of the Normans, had firmly established his rule in England, the Normans built huge stone keep castles. They were built to last a long time and many can still be seen today.The Normans built castles because they were a very good way for the Normans to expand their grip on the English people. The English population greatly outnumbered the Normans and the Normans had to create an atmosphere in which they were feared by the English, therefore, minimising the possibility of an uprising by the English.Castles were also a sign of Norman power and might. They could be easily seen and as such acted as a deterrent. The castles warned the English that Norman soldiers lived in these castles and that any attempts to rise up against them would be met with force.The castles also gave the Norman soldiers a safe place to live. They were, after all, invaders.
