The KeepThe keep was the main building of a castle. The keep contained the

Solar(the Lord and Lady’s bedroom), The Great Hall,

Storerooms, The Chapel, and the room where prisoners waited for their trials. The Chapel was the

main place of prayer, some being two stories high. The store rooms were places where food and wine were stored, and well as where soldiers would sleep when there

were an abundance of them.

The MoatMoats were very vital

ingredients of a castle. They are also very well-

known and associated with castles. A moat is a deep, wide ditch, often filled with

water, that surrounds a castle for protection.

The Motte and Bailey

A motte was a flat topped hill that supported the keep. At the base of the motte was a yard called a bailey. A

bailey had stables for horses, sheds and pens for livestock, storerooms for food, workshops, simple

houses for servants, and building where soldiers slept. The bailey was one of the first line’s of defense along

with the moat(water filled ditch). If the enemy ever got past the bailey, the community would retreat the the

keep. The first motte and bailey castle was built in 850.

The Great HallThe Great Hall was both a dining room and a living room of the middle ages. In

the Great Hall was entertainment, dancing, and eating. People were

arranged according to importance. The lord and lady and their guests sat at one

raised table while other diners were seated at benches at the “low tables”. Diners used spoons and knives and only wealthy nobles ate from plates. Jesters

and poets provided entertainment, while nobles danced and played games in the

background.
