What period was motte and bailey castle built?
The first Motte and Bailey Castle was built at Mont Glonme on the River Loire in France in 990 - so the Normans were used to using the castle to dominate their tenants under the feudal system. The Normans also brought feudalism to England. Prior to the Norman invasion in 1066 led by William the Conqueror there were hardly any castles in England and the ones that did exist were built by Norman lords who were friends of King Edward the Confessor.

What were King William's castles like?
At first it was simply a castle made out of wood surrounded by a motte. Surrounding the motte was the bailey. And surrounding that was the wooden wall (this was how the normans built their castles, because king William was from Normandy and now he is king of England, he built Norman castles in England). This was all to easy to attack so they eventually built a more modern castle.

How did castles change over the centuries?
over the years castles have changed from being made of wood , for its light weight , to stone for its sturdiness. castles have changed because of both advances in technology and the fact of the enemy's getting smarter and able to defeat the new castles after their advances. the shapes of the castles have also changed to . for example on the motte and bailey castles the shape of the keep changed from being a square shape to being a round shape . this changed because the corners on the square allowed less viewing , making it a circle allowed the people inside to view from all angles, being able to watch out for the enemy's. although the shape was good on the motte and bailey castles, the material was not very good as wood could be burnt and broken easily. they needed to find a new material that could overcome the enemy's effort's. this is when stone castles came into use. the stone was good as it could not be burnt or broken easily, but they would have to change the shape of the castle as the workers would not be able to haul the large stones up the mound of earth on the motte and bailey castles. castle development went in this order: motte and bailey castles stone keep castles concentric castles quadrangular castles

Why did castles change?
Castles changed because people kept on finding stronger materials and better structure. To keep castles going now they would of had to find a material that couldn't be effected by gunpowder, which is nearly impossible! Also they were some disadvantages about some castles such as the Motte and Bailey castle it had a weakness and the weakness was that it was made out of wood and could burn.So they changed it to a stone keep and this just carries on changing and changing getting better and better. Hope that helps.
