Life in a medieval castle

By Frances Gies, Joseph Gies

Subjects: Medieval Military history, Social life and customs, Chepstow Castle (Chepstow, Wales), Castles, Courts and courtiers, Court and courtiers, Chepstow Castle, History, Great Britain

Description: "The authors rightly approach the castle as the center of medieval life. Their story ranges well beyond the castle gate, but it centers on Chepstow, a well-preserved fortress on the Welsh border. The twelfth-century Lord of Chepstow, William Marshall, turns up with a companion knight on the tournament circuit in France."--Back cover.
