Why 1Castles in medeval times changed from motte and bailey castles to concentric castles. They changed them because the motte and bailey castles (which were made out of wood) had lots of weaknesses:
  • Sets on fire easily
  • Rots quickly
  • Isn't very strong

Also, King William (William the conqueror) (the ruler in those times) built motte and bailey castles to stop any rebellians and would only take a few days to build.

Concentric castles were made out of stone. Stone doesn't set on fire, doesn't rot and is very strong.

They also didn't just change because of the weakness of the motte and bailey castles but because of the influence of change of culture, and warfare. This lead to them becoming more safe and easier to defend and attack.

HowWhen King William (william the conqueror) wanted to replace the Motte and Bailey castles he knocked them down and replaced them with concentric castles.

There are many more types of castles

How did castles change over the centuries?

over the years castles have changed from being made of wood , for its light weight , to stone for its sturdiness. castles have changed because of both advances in technology and the fact of the enemy's getting smarter and able to defeat the new castles after their advances. the shapes of the castles have also changed to . for example on the motte and bailey castles the shape of the keep changed from being a square shape to being a round shape . this changed because the corners on the square allowed less viewing , making it a circle allowed the people inside to view from all angles, being able to watch out for the enemy's. although the shape was good on the motte and bailey castles, the material was not very good as wood could be burnt and broken easily. they needed to find a new material that could overcome the enemy's effort's. this is when stone castles came into use. the stone was good as it could not be burnt or broken easily, but they would have to change the shape of the castle as the workers would not be able to haul the large stones up the mound of earth on the motte and bailey castles. castle development went in this order: motte and bailey castles stone keep castles concentric castles quadrangular castles
