the motte is the hill and the bailey is the castle.
A Motte is the part of a Motte and Bailey castle is the part on the hill consists of the keep.
The English were building the motte and bailey under William the conqueres command
Royal family.
I think that the Keep in a Motte and Bailey castle is the building in the centre or the castle. Becaus if you take a Square keep castle the building in the middle (the castle) is square so it gives off the impression that it is the keep.actually a keep is a place were the king and his soldiers would hide when there in a battles (mostly with the Anglo Saxons)
The Normans were the first to start building the motte and baileys they probably used them in Normandy in France and used them when they invaded England
The Motte was a defensive feature to a Motte and Bailey castle because By The Time The attackers got to the top Of The Motte (a big hill where the main castle was) They would Be KNACKERED!! (I Learnt this in my history lesson!)
The Bailey in a castle was a courtyard insidethe wall or between two outer walls of a castle that surrounded The Keep.It was a Market Place and served as a gathering place for the locals residents.

William built his first motte and bailey castle in England at Pevensey. He utalized a Roman fort for added defence. It is possible the wooden tower on top of the motte was brought by ship ready to assemble.
