each castle looked different , but the first castle was a very important one i'm very sorry but all i know is that it would be made out of stone, have lots of curtains and expensive cloth fro the beds - and very very unhygenic thank you! It's "The Tower of London"

∙ 15y agoWhen William the Conqueror first invaded England he built Motte and Bailey castles made out of wood. He built Motte and Bailey castles because they were cheap and light. Being light made it easier to build and it being cheap was good for obvious reasons. There were also many other advantages to Motte and Bailey castles but those were the main ones. After a few years he knocked down many of the Motte and Bailey castles and built stone castles instead. Although the stone castles were more expensive and heavier, but better for these reasons: * They were stronger * They wouldn't rot * They're not flammable The Motte and Bailey castles that didn't get knocked down eventually rotted after a few years. The stone castles however, are still intact.

When were stone keep castles made?
The first stone keep castle was made just after the battle of Hastings in 1066 when William the duke of Normandy, William the Conqueror, decided that the original motte and bailey castle was too easy to attack. The attackers could burn most of the castle down because it was either made of wood, straw or mud. Also the wood palisade was not that strong or tall so any ladder could get over it and a battering ram could knock it down a lot easier than if it was made of stone... and that was when William the Conqueror decided to make castles out of stone because they did not burn and were stronger than wood or mud.
