Description :
The authors of Knights: Chivalry and Violence let readers inside the walls of
the medieval period&#8217smost iconic structure. &nbspIn ancient and
medieval times, the castle was the ultimate symbol of power, dominating its
surroundings and marking the landscape with its imposing size and
impregnable design. This concise and entertaining short history explores the
life of the castle, one that often involved warfare and sieges. The castle was a
first and foremost a fortress, the focus of numerous clashes which took place
in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Castles became targets of
sieges&#8212suh as that organized by Prince Louis of France against Dover
Castle in 1216&#8212an were forced to adopt greater defensive measures.
&nbspAlso explored is the evolution of castles from motte-and-bailey to stone
keeps in the face of newly developed siege machines and trebuchets. The
trebuchet named Warwolf, which Edward I had assembled for his siege of
Scotland&#8217sStirling Castle, reportedly took three months to construct and
was almost four hundred feet tall on completion. With features such as
&#8220muder holes&#8221for throwing boiling oil at the attackers, the
defenders in the castle fought back in earnest. Alongside such violence, the
castle functioned as a residence for the nobles and their servants, often
totaling several hundred in number. It was the location for extravagant
banquets held in the great hall by the lord and lady, and the place where the
lord carried out his administrative duties, such as overseeing laws and
collecting taxes.
