Travel back in time to explore the drafty corridors of a medieval castle.
In Eyewitness Castle, find out how medieval fortresses were built, defended, and lived in. Uncover the secrets behind the castle walls, from the daily lives of knights and nobles to the high-stakes drama of a siege.
Discover the mechanical genius behind a drawbridge, the heavy weight of a knight’s coat-of-plates, and the strategic secrets that kept invaders at bay. Examine the intricate carvings on a noble’s badge or the lethal edge of a crossbow bolt. Explore every corner, from the high towers where guards kept watch to the damp, dark dungeons below.
This updated edition includes the latest information and a new "eyewitness" feature – fascinating first-hand accounts from experts in the field. Part of the best-selling Eyewitness series, this book unlocks the fascinating medieval castle for curious readers and future historians.
