in 1088
The design of the motte and bailey castle changed due to the strategies of attack improving and developing. for e.g. burning the castles down became a vast attack strategy and this led to the design changing to square keep castles, which where made of stone.
the motte and bailey was easy to burn and so they went on to stone castles ( wich had more defense but took more time to build)
Motte and Bailey castles were made into 'Shell Keeps'. Usually, they would have a stone crust put on their wooden wall.
1300 that's when they changed
motte and bailey castles were built out of wood
motte and bailey castles consist of a hill/motte, a bailey which was a living area for the soldiers and the castle which was made out of wood
Motte and Bailey castles
The castles that came after Motte and Bailey Castles were Stone Castles. This was an improvement to Motte and Bailey Castles because Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood. Wood burns easily, rots quickly and isn't very strong. Stone castles, however were made of stone(obiously). Stone doesn't burn easily, doesn't rot and is very strong.
you pronounce it mot
motte and bailey castles is called 'motte and bailey castles' because the motte is another word for the hill on which is the keep and the bailey is where all the people live in an area encircled by wooden posts which joins up to the hill
the first kind of castles were moat and bailey castles.
it changed because wood is out of style
