Part of the Motte and Bailey was built on a hill! This is where the Lord and his Wife would stay and so would the rich people! Then on low ground there was another part of the Motte and Bailey which was built for Peasants to live in.

Motte and bailey castles?

A MOTTE AND BAILEY CASTLE IS: Motte: A motte is french for a clod of earth. The castle is built on this. Bailey: A bailey is attached to the clod of earth, via some steps and is where the soldiers of the castle sleep, like a small cottage. The castle is made out of wood and has a keep. A keep is like the lookout of a ship, but a lookout for attackers on the horizon. It is usually the safest place in the castle.
