Warner takes readers on a journey through the centuries, from the earliest castles built by the Romans to the mighty fortresses of the Middle Ages. He describes the different types of castles - from the small, isolated hilltop castles of the early Middle Ages to the great, all-encompassing fortresses of the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Warner also describes the different ways in which medieval castles were used - as homes, administrative centers, and military outposts.; 8vo; 262 pages.
