Why were Motte and Bailey castles replaced?
Not all of theMotte and Bailey castles were replaced, in fact, most of them weren't replaced but were left to rot. The Motte and Bailey castles that did get replaced were done so by Stone Keep castles (Stone castles). These castles were made out of stone (unsurprisingly) but the Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood. The reasons that some of the Motte and Bailey castles got replaced were that they weren't very strong, they rot within a few years and that they burn easily. The Stone Keep castles were the complete opposite of this.

Although Motte and Bailey castles were cheap and easy to get hold of, there were some weaknesses: * Wood Sets on fire easily * Wood isn't very strong and can be knocked down easily * Wood rots Despite the weaknesses Motte and Bailey castles decreased the number of rebellions and the Normans managed to keep control of the English better. Motte and Bailey Castles helped William gain control as they were strong. William's best tactic to control a country was the use of terror. Because Motte and Bailey castles were made of wood they would have only taken a few days to put up. All these castles being built around the country to keep an eye on the people was very scary. This forced everyone to do whatever the King wanted because they knew that he would order the knights to kill them if they didn't. William chose a baron for each castle who would control all the knights in that area.
