Today we perceive castles to be huge stone fortifications that were created for defence. These are known as stone keep castles, but what was used before this? Today we look at the Motte and Bailey Castle, a prominent castle built across Medieval Europe, and in particular was built in the 11th century in England. William the Conqueror following the Battle of Hastings needed to suppress England, so to do this he built and garrisoned Motte and Bailey castles all over the country. The main aim of doing this was to intimidate and scare the English into thinking twice about revolting. • In this video, we look at the different features including, The Keep, The Motte, Palisades, The Bailey, Ditches and Moats and more. Featuring footage from some of Britain's most well known and forgotten castles too. (Sadly no Motte and Bailey castles stand today, as they were replaced by Stone Keep castles in England after a few centuries) • Thanks for watching!
