Ok i did search around and didnt find much of what i wanted.I Am 21, In the USA, Ca. I am looking for books. such as, Merlin's post about the book about "o MEYER, Werner. Den Freunden ein Schutz, den Feinden zum Trutz: Die deutsche Burg. 2, verbesserte Aufl. Frankfurt a.M. 1969. >Follows the evolution of castles from the earliest earthwalls to the late middle ages and contains beautifull illustrations." http://www.castlesontheweb.com/quest/Forum10/HTML/000066.html I am looking for how they started, and why they changed they way they did. Weapons that caused the cahnges. I really want to know, why the built somthing and the reason it was built the way it was. The books have to be in english. I am working on a story, and i am doing research. in weapons, "magic" and things like that to roughly base stuff upon. Tendon. |

I haven't had time to look for books yet, but a usefull weapon site should be http://www.thearma.org/essays.htm As to books, you ask general questions, so perhaps if you asked for books on castles at your local library, you would get them faster. |

You are not going to get one 'total' book that will cover all that ground (as you have no doubt already guessed). I have tried myself enough times. There is; The Decline of the Castle .. M. W. Thompson Now as a reprint from Magna Books; ISBN 1 85422 608 8. Chaper 3 is 'Warfare in England and France'.Military Architecture ... Quentin Hughes Beaufort Press ISBN 1 85512 008 9 is a good general moving up to the present day. And lotsa and lotsa other to plow through. Peter |
