The castles of England

their story and structure

James D. Mackenzie

An old text, rather crippled by the prevailing C19 ideas that mottes were built by Saxons and Danes and definition of military architecture that seems, at times, to be perverse. However, does occasional have some pieces of interest, is based on referenced texts, and has had influence on later authors.
