Yes!Motte and Bailey Castles were the First ever made Castles in the Medieval Times by William the Conqueror.
King William I (William the conqueror) first introduced castles into Britain in the form of Motte and Bailey castles after he first took over the Country in 1066. King William I needed some castles that could be built quickly and cheaply after in the war in order to stop rebellions. Motte and Bailey castles were ideal as they were made out of wood which were both cheap and quick to build.
When William of Normandy took over the throne in England the first type of castle he introduced was the motte and bailey castle. A few years later some of the motte and bailey castles where upgraded to concentric castles.
Williams castles looks really Dusty and old
The Normans were the first to build motte and bailey castles. Their first castle built was at Mont Glonme on the river Loire in France, 990.
most Motte + Bailey castles were built in England by William the Conqueror but only for temporary use, they were also made out of wood so rebellions could possibly burn them down.
Motte and Bailey castles were built in the 11th century just after King William I (Willilam the conqueror) first took over Britain in 1066. Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood. They were mainley built because they were cheap and light so they were easy to build. They were later replaced by Stone keep castles (Stone castles) because Stone castles were stronger, wouldn't rot within a few years, wouldn't burn etc...
Motte and Bailey castles were not as good as other castles as they were weak. They were made of wood which could be easily battered and set alight. William the Conqueror built them because the could be produced quicker than other castles. He did this to assert his authority over England without taking too much time. They were later replaced by stone ones.
