Marc Morris
Beginning with their introduction in the 11th century, and ending with their widespread abandonment in the 17th, Marc Morris explores many of the country's most famous castles, as well as some spectacular lesser-known examples.
At times this is an epic tale, driven by characters like William the Conqueror, King John, and Edward I, full of sieges and conquest on an awesome scale. But it is also by turns an intimate story of less eminent individuals, whose adventures, struggles, and ambitions were reflected in the fortified residences they constructed. Be it ever so grand or ever so humble, a castle was first and foremost a home.
To understand castles - who built them, who lived in them, and why - is to understand the forces that shaped medieval Britain.

The book explores the features of castles and how they differ and changed over time.
I enjoyed the description of the siege of Rochester, and whilst parts of the book strayed off topic I have enjoyed the enthusiasm of the narrator throughout.
Re-moat-ly Interesting

Narration got a lower score just because of his pronunciation of the word ‘trebuchet’; I found it very grating! Aside from that one detail it was very well narrated and captured the tone and humour well.
Super!
