Fortress 13 Gravett: Norman Stone Castles (1) The British Isles 1066-1216. Paperback

Norman Stone Castles (1) The British Isles 1066-1216. Paperback. Fortress 13 Christopher Gravett 64 pages Descended from the Viking raiders who settled in Northern France under the leadership of Rollo in around 911, the Normans were amongst the most feared warriors of their time. Their territorial ambitions culminated in Duke William 1's conquest of England in 1066, but although victory at Hastings left the English crown in William's hands, Norman sovereignty remained far from established on the island. In order to consolidate his position, the new king built a series of fortifications across the country - this book covers all these developments from the early days of William I through to the fortifications of Henry II, Richard I and John.

Fortress 14 Lavelle: Fortifications in Wessex c. 800 - 1066. Paperback

Fortifications in Wessex c. 800–1066. Fortress 14 Ryan Lavelle 64 pages 2003 The defence of the 9th-century kingdom of Wessex under King Alfred against the Great Viking Army is one of the major military achievements of Early Medieval history. While the guerrilla warfare in the Somerset marshes and the battle of Edington are characteristic of Alfreds military abilities, his definitive physical achievement was a series of some 30 well-structured fortifications (known as burhs) across the kingdom. Many of these fortifications survive to this day and some were even reinforced to stand up to German tanks in the expected invasion of 1940. Fortress 14

Fortress 18 Gravett: Norman Stone Castles (2), Europe 950-1204

Norman Stone Castles (2), Europe 950-1204. Fortress 18 Gravett 64 pages Following the creation of the Duchy of Normandy, the Normans were soon introduced to the castle and they built them in large numbers. In the mid-11th century, other Norman adventurers began carving out dominions for themselves in Southern Italy: some crossed to Sicily in 1061 and by 1091 had conquered the whole island. As in Normandy, they were keen to assimilate new ideas, including architectural styles, resulting in some striking buildings. This title, a companion to Fortress 13: Norman Stone Castles (1) The British Isles 1066-1216, provides a detailed guide to the castles built in Normandy, Southern Italy and Sicily, covering defensive principles, daily life, the events of siege warfare, and the fate of the castles.
