5.0 out of 5 stars super text for Castle basics!!, April 8, 2002
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.
