For many centuries following the Norman Conquest one of the most characteristic structures of the English landscape, the castle, was used to control and survey the population. In its simplest definition a castle is a fortified habitation, yet it can be of the most primitive kind intended only for periodic use, or as magnificent as Caernarvon and the other Welsh castles of Edward I. This book, written by a leading authority who has made the castle a lifetime study, is a comprehensive treatment of the archaeology of the castles of England and Wales, including a section on the Castles of the Welsh. It is essential reading for all archaeologists and anyone with an interest in this field. Contents: List of Figures; Acknowledgements; Preface; 1. The Character of a Castle; 2. Castle-Guard; 3. Control over Castles, at Home and Abroad; 4. On the Development of Castles; 5. The Origins of the Castle; 6. The Primitive English Castle - Earthwork; 7. The Primitive English Castle - Stone; 8. The Influence of the Crusades; 9. The Introduction of Scientific Fortification; 10. The Thirteenth and Early Fourteenth Centuries; 11. The Castles of the Welsh; 12. The Fourteenth Century; 13.

Synopsis:
For many centuries, following the Norman Conquest, one of the most characteristic structures of the English landscape, the castle, was used to control and survey the population. In its simplest definition a castle is a fortified habitation, yet it can be of the most primitive kind intended only for periodic use, or as magnificent as Caernarvon and the other Welsh castles of Edward I. This book is a comprehensive treatment of the archaeology of the castles of England and Wales. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of archaeology and history.
