Castle by Marc Morris
Be it ever so grand or ever so humble, a castle was first and foremost a home. To understand castles who built them, who lived in them, and why is to understand the forces that shaped medieval Britain.
Captivating and entertaining.. More than just a study of architecture, weaponry and personalities, Castle pieces together a comprehensive overview that gives a fresh take on medieval and early modern Britain and the forces that shaped it. Whether ruined or intact, castles still have the power to fire the imagination, and Marc Morris leave you in no doubt why. * BBC History Magazine *
