How did castles change between 1066 and 1500?

Answer 1

From a simple motte and bailey castles change and grow mainly due to the weapons developed. The Norman castles after 1066 were simple wood or stone towers (baileys) on a man-made mound of earth called a motte. Later castles were much larger with concentric walls surrounding many buildings surrounding a central tower called the keep.

Answer 2

Castles changed throughout the invasion of England and the fifteen hundreds formation and materials, when the normans first came to England they needed to build castles quickly for defence. Why did they change to stone? If they had not, England would of defeated the Normans. The normans started to use stone because they noticed that wood was easy to set fire to and to destroy.

I think it shows that people in middle ages discovered that when they were under threat people would would burn the wood because most of their castles were made out of wood. So they found out about this material which was grey and named concrete so it would not be burnt and harder to attack.
