Life in a medieval castle

By Frances Gies, Joseph Gies

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

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.
