What was the improvements of the motte and bailey castle?

Answer 1

Motte and Bailey castles were replaced by shell keeps and square towers. They were also replaced by concentric castles. The concentric castles were originally Motte and Bailey castles, but only some of the Motte and Baileys got to become them. Some of the first Motte and Bailey castles to be turned into concentric castles are Rochester castle and Warwick castle. They were cool

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

They were built with stone mainly because that was the most expensive material.Once the site of a castle had been selected - whether a strategic position or one intended to dominate the landscape as a mark of power - the building material had to be selected. An earth and timber castle was cheaper and easier to erect than one built from stone. The costs involved in construction are not well-recorded, and most surviving records relate to royal castles. A castle with earthen ramparts, a motte, and timber defenses and buildings could have been constructed by an unskilled workforce. The source of man-power was probably from the local lordship, and the tenants would already have the necessary skills of felling trees, digging, and working timber necessary for an earth and timber castle. Possibly coerced into working for their lord, the construction of an earth and timber castle would not have been a drain on a client's funds. In terms of time, it has been estimated that an average sized motte - 5 m (16 ft) high and 15 m (49 ft) wide at the summit - would have taken 50 people about 40 working days. An exceptionally expensive motte and bailey was that of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clones Clones] in Ireland, built in 1211 for £20. The high cost, relative to other castles of its type, was because labourers had to be imported.

Answer 4

Concentric castles replaced motte and bailey castles because they would not rot, they would not be able to set on fire quickly and they wouldn't fall down as easily.
