What period was motte and bailey castle built?

Answer 1

The first Motte and Bailey Castle was built at Mont Glonme on the River Loire in France in 990 - so the Normans were used to using the castle to dominate their tenants under the feudal system. The Normans also brought feudalism to England. Prior to the Norman invasion in 1066 led by William the Conqueror there were hardly any castles in England and the ones that did exist were built by Norman lords who were friends of King Edward the Confessor.

Answer 3

Motte and Bailey castles were used in the few years just after the Battle of Hastings after King William I (William the conqueror) took the throne of England. They were built and used by King William I to scare the people of England to do what he said and accept that he was now the new leader. Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood and were very cheap and light making it easy to build with. Some of the Motte and Bailey castles were later replaced by Stone Keep castles (Stone castles). These castles were, unsurprisingly made out of stone. The Motte and Bailey castles that didn't get replaced by these castles eventually rotted. The Stone Keep castles, however, stand up to this day and will do for many years to come.
