Because they had better defenses than the Motte and Bailey castles and the Norman Keep Towers.

  • They had many walls that the enemy had to get past. Some could have been up to 20 feet thick.
  • They were made of stone so they could not be burnt down
  • The towers were round so they had no corners to mine under
  • They were big, so people could actually live comfortably in them and it made them intimidating

Also, people had to keep on building better castles and better weapons were made.
