The Motte and Bailey castles played a crucial role during the Norman conquest. They were constructed swiftly and strategically placed within a day's march from each other, offering a secure resting place and shelter for the troops during patrols. While some of these castles had a small force to defend them, others were developed over time and fortified with stone to become permanent bases that were later identified as castles. Don't miss the video demonstration showcasing the rapid construction of these castles. |
