Why were motte and bailey castles better than previous castles?
Motte and Bailey castles consisted of two large man-made mounds, next to each other, one with a larger area and the other higher up, this is where the keep was. Previous castles, however, were mostly based on the old Celtic design, which was basically a large man-made mound on its own. Motte and Bailey castles were basically better because to assault one you had to get through the outer walls of the Bailey and THEN over the ditch/moat surrounding the higher mound and THEN get into the keep. They also work better to control peasants as to the ones who lived inside the castle it seemed like there was a castle within a castle.
