When william the conquerer conquered england he introduced castles from France, he used them to try and control the english, as a symbol of power, somewhere safe to keep an eye on people, somewhere for prisoners, somewhere where his soldiers could retreat to if they were under attack. first wooden motte and bailey castles were built as a tempory measure, and where then developed into stone castles, which were stronger and more long lasting, as you can see they still last today.
