Line 1: − A '''Motte and Bailey''' is a form of [[medieval]] castle. They were common around the 11th century AD especially in [[England]] and [[Ireland]]. Eventually they became obsolete and were replaced with bigger, stronger castles. The ''Motte'' was a natural or manmade hill 10 to 100 feet high with a castle or keep on top. The ''bailey'' was an enclosed area surrounded by a fence. Usually the structures were made of [[wood]]. + − − == See also == − − *[[Windsor Castle]] − − == Links == − [http://www.etrusia.co.uk/castle_list.php List of Motte and Bailey Castles] − − [http://www.etrusia.co.uk/mottes.php Information on Motte and Bailey Castles] − − [http://www.castles.org/architecture/architecture_8.htm More Information on Motte and Bailey Castles] − − [[category:castles]]
