Best Answer

Castles were first built in the form of motte and bailey castles. They were built just after The Battle of Hastings in 1066 by King William all around the country. Motte and bailey castles were made out of wood so they burnt easily and rot quite quickly. Many people were angry at him for killing their past King. He built them to try and reduce the amount of rebellions. Williams soldiers scared people into doing what he wanted.

After a few years some of the castles were changed into concentric castles. These were made out of stone and didn't burn easily and doesn't rot quickly.
