The castles that came after Motte and Bailey Castles were Stone Castles. This was an improvement to Motte and Bailey Castles because Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood. Wood burns easily, rots quickly and isn't very strong. Stone castles, however were made of stone(obiously). Stone doesn't burn easily, doesn't rot and is very strong.
concentric castles came next
motte and bailey castles were the first castles built by william and later stone castles came around they were first rectangular but then were made circular which was better defence. e.t.c. ;-)

motte and bailey
Motte and Bailey castles were replaced by shell keeps and square towers. They were also replaced by concentric castles. The concentric castles were originally Motte and Bailey castles, but only some of the Motte and Baileys got to become them. Some of the first Motte and Bailey castles to be turned into concentric castles are Rochester castle and Warwick castle. They were cool
the moat around the castle was there to protect the castle when it came under attack. A moat is basically a circle river dug around the castle. Hope this helps
It was uasually attacked by fire arrows. I'm not bothered to answer fully so type' how Motte and Bailey castles were attacked?' and youll find your answer. Soz, I'm just not intelligent enough so thats why I came here in the first place. So good luck or whatever, break a leg or hand. ;)
Castle design changed because William the Conqueror first wanted stone castles and they were built. Then came along Edward I and he wanted concentric castles. it started with a motte and bailey castleCastles have a changed a lot since medieval times. It used to be Motte and Bailey castles built from wood but then William the conqueror started building castles from stone. They used stone because it was:StrongCouldn't burnCant be knocked overGood Protection
i think he built it near towns and Villages so they were in good protection and near major routes so the armys could go places easily.
Why 1Castles in medeval times changed from motte and bailey castles to concentric castles. They changed them because the motte and bailey castles (which were made out of wood) had lots of weaknesses: Sets on fire easilyRots quicklyIsn't very strongAlso, King William (William the conqueror) (the ruler in those times) built motte and bailey castles to stop any rebellians and would only take a few days to build.Concentric castles were made out of stone. Stone doesn't set on fire, doesn't rot and is very strong.They also didn't just change because of the weakness of the motte and bailey castles but because of the influence of change of culture, and warfare. This lead to them becoming more safe and easier to defend and attack.HowWhen King William (william the conqueror) wanted to replace the Motte and Bailey castles he knocked them down and replaced them with concentric castles. There are many more types of castles
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
