Life in a medieval castle

About this book

"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.
