Medieval Castles of England and Wales

Cyfrol sy'n archwilio pwysigrwydd cestyll ym meysydd rhyfela canoloesol, gwleidyddiaeth cartref a bywyd o ddydd i ddydd eu preswylwyr. Dangosir hefyd sut y bu i ddatblygiadau technolegol newydd effeithio ar eu gwneuthuriad a'u cynllun, a pham y bu iddynt ddadfeilio ym mlynyddoedd diweddaraf y Canol Oesoedd. Dros 80 o luniau lliw.

This book examines why castles were so essential to medieval warfare, their importance in domestic politics, and the day-to-day lives of those who lived and worked within them. It also shows how the development of new technologies affected their construction and design, and why they eventually fell into disrepair in the late Middle Ages. Over 80 colour photogrpahs.
