1067
In the time of the normans from 1066 onwards
because the English would of be defeated. The Normans built castles better than us
The Normans introduced the first proper castles, starting with the wooden Motte and Bailey castles to England following their victory at The Battle of Hastings in 1066.
Motte and Bailey castles were needed because the Normans wanted to keep an eye on the village and the make sure they didn't rebel against the king. Motte and bailey castles were very easy to burn down and rotted easily with water.
Strengths of a motte and Bailey castles are that its easy to build and quick to build. there is nothing cos there naf
Because the normans built castles because soldiers were safe as they had an advantage of height as the castle was built on a motte.
They built keeps on hills like motte and Bailey castles but keeps were more different they were stronger and made of stone unlike motte and bailey castles, motte and Bailey castles were mostly made out of wood. hope this information helps !
