Do you know why the circular stairs in castles ascended clockwise?
Have you ever wondered where the toilets were, or how they worked?
Do you know what the best way to attack a castle was? Can you guess
why hundreds of pigs would be slaughtered in order to conquer a
castle? Ewart Oakeshott knows, and you will too when you finish
this book. He is the foremost authority on Medieval weaponry, and
in this book he provides a lively and informative history of
Europe's castles. Superbly illustrated by the author, he traces the
design, building, and defense of castles throughout the Middle
Ages, and explores the castle armory, daily life, the training of
boys to become knights (including their lessons in both the arts of
warfare and courtly behavior), sieges, and favorite pastimes such
as hunting and hawking. "This delightful little work does admirably
what it sets out to do..So well done that it deserves a place in
the library purely as an elementary work of reference." - School
