The Hastle at the Castle!
Castles are very interesting but these three facts stood out to me. My first fact is: Its thick, high walls make it very hard to attack. Also Castle were impressive symbols of power and wealth. My last fact is: The simplest castles were called motte and bailey castles.

ReplyDeleteWhy were they called motte and bailey castles?
ReplyDeleteI truly have never heard of a motte and baily castle. I never expected castles to be made of anything exept for stone, rocks, and mud. I know that they are a symbol of power and wealth, but if they are built on the hill, wouldn't they be easier for enimies to spot, and harder for citizens to climb and bring supplies to? And also, wouldn't it be dangerous bringing carts and such down such a steep hill?
