King William I (William the conqueror) first introduced castles into Britain in the form of Motte and Bailey castles after he first took over the Country in 1066. King William I needed some castles that could be built quickly and cheaply after in the war in order to stop rebellions. Motte and Bailey castles were ideal as they were made out of wood which were both cheap and quick to build.
the first person to build a Mott and bailey was William the conqueror
He built his castle for him and his army to shelter in before a battle
William the Conqueror built two stone castles; Chepstow and the Tower of London. These were the first buildings in England that were not churches to be made from stone, and they were designed to impress and intimidate. Castles made from stone was an idea that did not catch on until the 12th Century.
Motte and Bailey castles were built in the 11th century just after King William I (Willilam the conqueror) first took over Britain in 1066. Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood.

William the Conqueror from Normandy invaded Britain and became king, Normans built many motte and bailey castles as well as the infamous Tower of London. The were originally from Normandy, the area just before Brittany, the panhandle on the northern coast, and im sure they built castles there.
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.
