About the book
"The authors rightly approach the castle as the center of medieval life. Their story ranges well beyond the castle gate, but it centers on Chepstow, a well-preserved fortress on the Welsh border. The twelfth-century Lord of Chepstow, William Marshall, turns up with a companion knight on the tournament circuit in France."--Back cover.
Subjects: Castles, Social life and customs, Courts and courtiers, Chepstow Castle (Chepstow, Wales), Medieval Military history, Great Britain
