They were built by King William I (William the Conqueror) who was the new King of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. He built the Motte and Bailey castles all over Britain because all the people didn't like him and wouldn't obay him. Having castles all dotted around the Contories made sure that people did what they were told and make sure that there were no rebellions. If people didn't do what they were told, his knights would kill them or arrest them.
