Glossary of Terms

 

1.       Baron: A feudal tenant holding his rights and title directly from the king or another feudal superior. A lord or nobleman; peer.

2.       Baronet: A British hereditary title of honour, ranking below a baron, held by commoners.

3.       Motte/Moat: An ancient fortress built upon a steep mound of earth from six to twelve meters in height. The top had a diameter of ten to thirty meters and was surrounded by a wooden fence with a wooden watchtower in the center. The archers could shoot attackers from this stockade. A trench was dug around the motte, which was sometimes filled with water. The open space beyond the trench was called the bailey, which was protected by a ditch and fence. In the bailey stood the horses of the lord and his men. Cattle and other stock could be brought in if there was danger of an attack. The motte and bailey, called a bretasche, was difficult for the Irish to capture but quickly built. They relied on surprise attacks and setting the wooden buildings on fire.
