History

Which consequence resulted from the Norman's motte-and-bailey castle design during early sieges?

A)Undermining stability triggered collapse
B)Arrow fire caused internal fires
C)Rammed gates lead to breaches
D)Scaling ladders provided easy access

💡 Explanation

The outcome was undermined stability because these earthen structures settlements underwent differential settlement, triggering slope instability rather than external attack; therefore, the castle's basic construction led to its downfall rather than sophisticated military tactics causing immediate destruction.
