the first medievil castles were called motte and bailey they were two hills one taller than the other the taller one with the keep on it the smaller one with the soldiers homes
The castles that came after Motte and Bailey Castles were Stone Castles. This was an improvement to Motte and Bailey Castles because Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood. Wood burns easily, rots quickly and isn't very strong. Stone castles, however were made of stone(obiously). Stone doesn't burn easily, doesn't rot and is very strong.
