5.0 out of 5 stars
super text for Castle basics!!,
This review is from: A Knight and His Castle (Paperback)
This version of the 1965 text has been revised and updated and a glossary added. A companion work (Dark Age Warrior and A Knight in Battle are the others in his triology) this one gives you the a to z basics of the knight and his castle. Loaded with all sorts of nifty details like why circular stars in castle ascend clockwise, why slaughtering a whole herd of pigs is essential to conquering a castle during a seige, to what castles were constructed of and how they were laid out.For people just beginning to get into medieval history, these are a MUST!! Rich in details. A handy help to writers as well.

This review is from: A Knight and His Castle (Paperback)
Book well written, informative without being boring. It has some beautiful drawings. It's a good start for those interested in the subject.
There are not many pictures, so may not please if you expect to see them. Otherwise a good book.
