Yes, pretty much.
Motte and Bailey Castles started in the Norman time, After King William Duke of Normandy. They were built in England, Northrubria. :)
This depends on what type of castle your referring to. In the Norman times, there were two different types of castles built. There were Motte and Bailey castles and Stone keep castles (Stone castles). The Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood and the Stone keep castles were made out of stone (obviously).
motte and bailey castles is called 'motte and bailey castles' because the motte is another word for the hill on which is the keep and the bailey is where all the people live in an area encircled by wooden posts which joins up to the hill
A shell on a castle is the round part on top. Since Norman Motte and Bailey castles were first made of wood, the castle was not sturdy enough to support the shell.
Well There is lots of Norman Castles but the first one around that time was the motte and Bailey Castle.
The Normans built Motte and bailey castles all over England to show that they are ruling and to show their powerthey built them to keep an eye on soldiers coming to attack and defend the vvillages.
