How were motte and bailey castles defended and attacked?
they were attacked by soldiers setting the motte and Bailey castles alight and the castles also had pickaxes through at the door because in a matter of time the pickaxes would make a hole in the door and they could get through.
What was the reason of square castles being built?
well the reason for the square castle to be built was that the Motte and Bailey castle were made out of wood so when it starts raining it will rot and also when fights start, fire was the best way to attack the Motte and Bailey castles since they were made entirely out of wood. The fire might be started by building a bonfire against the outer wooden fence (or, more usually, by archers shooting fire-arrows into the castle. As the fire spread through the castle those living inside would be forced to leave allowing the attackers to take them prisoner or kill them. This was one of the reasons why Motte and Bailey castles were soon replaced by Stone Keep castles. Fire has little effect on a stone castle.I hope it helped u

How was a castle made and what materials were used?
Kings and nobles built castles to protect themselves. The Normans built the first castles. After winning the Battle of Hastings, the Normans needed to protect themselves and their new kingdom. They quickly started to build wooden Motte and Bailey castles. The term motte and bailey comes from Norman French words that mean mound and enclosed land. A motte and bailey castle was built on a huge mound (motte). Mottes could range from 25 feet (8 metres) to over 80 feet (24 metres) tall. The sides were so steep that it would have been difficult to run up them. For additional protection, a deep ditch was dug around the bottom of the motte. The bailey was situated at the bottom of the motte/mound. Baileys varied in size. They could be anything from one to three acres. The followers of the lord of the castle, lived inside the bailey. Inside the bailey were storehouses, stables, bakery, kitchens, and houses and quarters for the followers and solders. To see what a motte-and-bailey actually looked like, see the link further down this page under External Links. The wooden motte and bailey castles were not meant to be permanent, however. They were made of timber, vulnerable to fire, and by that could be destroyed when under attack. Permanent stone Norman castles eventually replaced them. The first stone castles consisted of rectangular towers surrounded by very high stone walls. To see what an early stone castle looked like, see the link further down this page under External Links. What is known as the 'great age of castles' began approximately 1,000 years ago and lasted for nearly 500 years. Medieval castles continued to be built from the time of the 1066 Norman Conquest to the start of the Tudor era in 1485. Although Kings and nobles originally built castles to protect themselves, over time comfortable homes evolved within those fortified walls
