motte and bailey castles were the first type of castle to be built in England. The tower of the keep was built a huge mound called a motte and had an enclosed courtyard called a bailey. It would have been very difficult to get up the sides of the motte because they were so steep. A ditch dug around the bottom of the motte also added protection. The bailey was located at the bottom of the motte and could be up to three acres. Followers of the lord who ran the castle lived inside the bailey. There were

medieval castles changed dramatically over 400-500 years due to the development of weapons used to destroy or capture them. Firstly, it will talk about the Motte and Bailey castle, outlining a range of problems within it and why it eventually became redundant. Secondly, it will confer about the stone keep castle that replaced the motte and bailey castle, the problems it outlined and why it also leveled out. Then, it will discuss about the concentric castle that took over the stone keep castle and why they

one thousand seven hundred eighty Dearest journal, The Trial located at the old bailey thoughtfully made the final judgement, the lad Charles Darnay was testified as, “Acquitted.” I am the one to be the most thankful towards for the judgement. I recall sitting on the judge’s bench, adjacent to my old school chum Stryver, glancing at the expressions of the many faces of the brimming and a-buzz old bailey. I recall the relish of the many voices all declaring the sentence, “he’ll be drawn on

This pleasant walk, starting from the hilltop village of Crayke, follows part of the Foss Walk to Oulston. Due to the agricultural nature of the valley, ploughed fields and crops are likely; therefore parts of the walk may be muddy. The village stands on the steep, southern slopes of Castle Hill and its name derives from the Celtic word ‘creig’ meaning crag or rock. There has been a settlement here since at least AD 685, when Ecgfrith, King of Northumbria gave Crayke, together with all the land within

It seems as if castles have been around forever, but they first types of castles were built between the 11th and 15th centuries in France, Ireland, and England. These castles were called Motte and Bailey. Motte and Bailey castles consisted of a tower on top of a man made hill with a fence and a ditch around the outside, sometimes with water. The name moat for the water surrounding the castle comes from Motte. This was the most popular type of castle in all of Europe, except for Scandinavia. These

History is made and altered throughout time. A motte-and-bailey is a major part of our history, especially of castles. It was a form of castle on a raised surface that was surrounded by a ditch and protective fence. It was the most common form of castle in Europe in the 11th century in many places. The motte parts were mounds crowned by a tower. A ditch was around them and it was sometimes filled with water. Because of the mottes, it added another way of defence. Another way of technically describing

Motte and bailey castles have been built all over Europe during the Middle Ages, especially in England, Wales, and Scotland. They were extremely popular for almost 200 years, and motte castles continued to be built until the 13th century. They were very innovative during the Medieval time period. Motte and bailey castles were hard work to construct and eventually evolved into impressive, more advanced fortresses. The original motte and bailey castles were incredibly cheap to construct. They were

of warfare from the 10th to 13th centuries. Castles, particularly in England, played an essential role in warfare because of the power associated with them. Changes in castle defense are represented by two important types of castles: the motte and bailey castle and, later, the concentric castles. As a whole, they became more secure and fluid. Stronger materials were necessary to ensure more powerful weapons could not penetrate the defenses easily. In addition, more features were integrated into walls

The findings of their study showed that sexual orientation is something that one is born with. Pillard and Bailey and surveyed homosexual men about their brothers, and they found some statistics that were rather unexpected. Of the homosexuals
