Placed within a fictional setting in the 12th Century, this title will give the reader an insight into the practical aspects of designing, maintaining and defending a castle. With an initial overview of the castle, noble family and the local village, the scene quickly changes to one of local revolt. The ensuing siege and battle will look at siege engines, battlement design and the mechanics of maintaining the defence of a weakened, besiged garrison.
