First made by the English and the Normans, these castles were definitley more protective than the Motte and Bailey. It stone structure gave it support against attacksand since it was higher up, archers and shooters could see over a lot more land. They had wooden steps on it, and if they were attacked, these steps would be knowcked down. They quickly caught on that wood was far too easy to break through.

This castle was definintely the most safe and secure castle ever built. They literally had a castle inside a castle. A wall was circled arounf the perimetre of the castle with a moat just to add a little more security. They realised that just becuase they could lock themselves indoors, doestn mean that they were completely safe, so they added the extra coverage.
