How did medieval castles evolve?
Medieval castles evolved because the old Motte and Bailey castles where easier to set alight and where not very strong, so they made stone castles to improve defence.
What came after the motte and bailey castle?
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.
