Why did castle builders change from motte and bailey style to the shell keep style?
The Motte and Bailey style of castle had two major weaknesses. Frequently the motte was too weak to support the castle. It would simply topple over. Second, an enemy could tunnel through the motte and attack the castle that way. If the castle were build first, the tunnel could reach the castle without the defenders knowing where the attackers were until it was too late. The shell keep style did not have that problem. In fact, it could be made round so that cannon balls would glance off.
