Castles: A History of the Buildings That Shaped Medieval Britain
Mark Morris is a historian and the author of castles, a history of the buildings that shaped medieval Britain. The story of these iconic structures begins with the Anglo-Saxons, on the eve of an invasion that changes the landscape of Britain forever. In 1066, England's late king, Edward the Confessor, is being laid to rest before a solemn congregation. It sets in motion a series of events that will lead to the loss of a kingdom, the end of a dynasty, and the dawn of a new type of building in England.
