Medieval Siege Warfare
Norris, J.
Paperback. 256 pp. Richly illustrated in b/w and 14 col pls. Tempus 2007.
John Norris looks at all aspects of the medieval siege and draws examples from all over the medieval world - from the Middle East, where during the Crusades massive castles such as the Krak des Chevaliers were established, to Britain and mainland Europe with historic sieges such as Rouen and Chalus where Richard the Lionheart was killed. In addition to explaining the technical complexities of siege warfare, the author paints a graphic picture of the life of those involved, attackers and defenders alike.
