Castle: A History of the Buildings that Shaped Medieval Britain

As Marc Morris shows, there is more to castles than drawbridges and battlements, portcullises and arrow-loops. Be it ever so grand or ever so humble, a castle is first and foremost a home. It may look tough and defensible on the outside, but on the inside, a castle is all about luxury and creature comforts. To understand castlesâ€”who built them, who lived in them, and whyâ€”is to understand the forces that shaped medieval Britain.
