From the mechanics and structure of the castle, to how they worked as symbols, living places and defences, this is a passionate survey for anyone who loves castles.

Castles were the core of medieval life for everyone from the king to the peasant; they are essential to our romantic view of the middle ages, many of them still standing. This lavishly illustrated new history shows how they were more than just fortresses and high status residences, but rather had much greater depths of meaning.
