King William the I (William the conqueror) didn't build all his

made out of wood. These wooden castles were called Motte and Bailey

Asked in Stone Castles
How old are Stone Keep Castles?
Stone Keep castles (Stone castles) are quite a few centuries
old. They were built in the 11th century by King William I (William
the conqueror) not long after he took over Britain after the battle
of hastings. Stone castles however, weren't the first castles
William built in Britain. He first built Motte and Bailey castles.
The reasons for this were that they were cheap and easy to build as
they were made out of wood. He decided to build Stone castles to
replace many of the Motte and Bailey castles for many reasons
including these: * Stone castles don't burn * Stone castles don't
rot within a few years but will carry on standing for centuries to
come * Stone castles were heavier, making them much stronger
