Mott and Bailey CASTLES!
🕑 Added 2018-11-23 12:08:56 +0000 UTC The Mott and Bailey castle was on of the first castle types to arise historically but its design eventually fell out of use for these reasons.

I'm curious are there any stories of castles being overrun/taken over in the historical literature? It sounds like you are just spotting tactical weaknesses but not drawing on historical examples and I'm curious if there are stories of this happening, and maybe stories of other castle designs being taken.

So my next question is... why did the Mott and Bailey design arise instead of the better design of putting the tower / keep inside the main walls?
