Want this question answered?
how did the normans change the design of the castle
in 1088
htey changed in design by making more walls and draw bridges
The design of the motte and bailey castle changed due to the strategies of attack improving and developing. for e.g. burning the castles down became a vast attack strategy and this led to the design changing to square keep castles, which where made of stone.

the Normans changed the design because they thought the defence system was weak so in order to save them selfes they built bigger, stronger and more powerful castles wich we can still see today.
because concentric castles were better, and there was a strong defensive entrance. hope this helps xxx
Because what castles used to be made of were not as strong as they are made of now because they had to develop the structure because the weapons that were used against castles in wars had developed stronger aswell!
because they have different people in charge of different castles and one persons idea was the best so castles changed for ever.
Weapons got better and gun powder was used. The old wooden mott and bailey couldn't stand against gunpowder so they had to change for the same level of defense.
the motte and bailey was easy to burn and so they went on to stone castles ( wich had more defense but took more time to build)
Motte and Bailey castles were made into 'Shell Keeps'. Usually, they would have a stone crust put on their wooden wall.
