What are Motte and Bailey Castles?
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 to...

What is a Motte and Bailey Castle? - History Year 7
A motte and bailey is a type of castle built across England and Wales after the Norman
conquest in 1066. William the Conqueror built motte and bailey castles to assert his
control over his kingdom and intimidate his enemies. Motte and baileys were cheap and
easy to build, but were made of timber which caught fire easily and rotted over time.
Examples of motte and bailey castles are Windsor Castle and Cardiff Castle.

The Motte and Bailey Castle in Horsham, West Sussex.
Who knew there was a Motte and Bailey Castle in Horsham in West Sussex. Not me, and I lived in Horsham as a boy.
The lovely Julia and I pop along to a piece of wasteland in the North East of the town to discover the old Norman defence, where soon after the invasion of 1066 a timber stronghold would have stood.

England's FIRST Castles! - Motte and Bailey Castles EXPLAINED!
Following the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William the Conqueror needed to control his population. People across England were angry with the fact a man from France was ruling over them, and the threat of rebellion was real. Because of this he made a number of changes to impose his rule onto people, and one of the biggest changes was that he brought the first castles to England. Before his, the only sort of fortified settlement was known as a Burh, but William I brought Motte and Bailey Castles to England.
These were huge wooden structures in which soldiers would be garrisoned in to bring about an end of any possible rebellion. They were made strictly from wood, and consisted of a bailey where the soldiers lived and also a motte, a huge hill on top of which sat a keep, or a traditional cast...

(Sadly no Motte and Bailey castles stand today, as they were replaced by Stone Keep castles in England after a few centuries)
