A '''[[Motte-and-bailey castle|motte-and-bailey]]''' is a form of [[castle]], with a wooden or stone [[keep]] situated on a raised earthwork called a motte, accompanied by an enclosed [[courtyard]], or bailey, surrounded by a protective ditch and [[palisade]]. Relatively easy to build with unskilled, often forced labour, but still militarily formidable, these castles were built across northern Europe from the 10th century onwards, spreading from [[Normandy]] and [[Anjou]] in [[France]], into the [[Holy Roman Empire]] in the 11th century. The [[Normans]] introduced the design into [[England]] and [[Wales]] following their invasion in 1066. Motte and bailey castles were adopted in [[Scotland]], [[Ireland]], the [[Low Countries]] and [[Denmark]] in the 12th and 13th centuries. By the end of the 13th century, the design was largely superseded by alternative forms of fortification, but the earthworks remain a prominent feature in many countries. |
