The Gatehouse. The comprehensive listing of medieval fortifications and castles in England and Wales.

The Medieval Castle in England and Wales

A social and political history
Norman J. G. Pounds



Perhaps one of the best castle books published in recent years. Norman Pounds gives detailed insight into the reasons for building castles in England and Wales, how the castles were used and such important details of the cost of garrisoning a castle. This text is excellent for giving detailed examples of the social and political aspects of castles.
