A History of the Early Medieval Siege: c.450-1200

Peter F. Purton

While the warfare aspects of castles has been over emphasised, often to the detriment of a full understanding of the castle, castles were, from time to time, besieged and the possibility of warfare did influence castle architecture. Purton's two volumes offers the best understanding of the role of castles in warfare.
