Simultaneously a seat of government, a military base, a private residence, and a retreat for besieged locals, the medieval castle abounds in both history and romance. This evocative survey traces the rise of fortresses across England and Wales, with 200 photographs, drawings, and plans. Sites include York Castle, Conway Castle, Dover Castle, and Kenilworth Castle.
