I really enjoyed this book I have often wanted to know more about the black prince and I found this very well written.

This brilliant book emphasises the incredible splendour of Norman castle buildings, many of which still stand as monuments to the genius and skills of the men and women who lived through this era of our history. I expect modern architects would do it differently were they to build a castle today, but the fact remains that these buildings are incredible, and Malcolm Hislop's wonderful book celebrates everything associated with them. A joy to read.

An exceptional retelling of a pivotal moment in history. Incredibly well researched, the authors offer new information and insights even to those who are familiar with the Battle of Hastings. The writing itself is clear and accessible to any reader with an interest, avoiding academic pretensions which sometimes come with very focused history books.

As someone who has been interested in the history of Scotland for quite awhile I was always disappointed that we didn't have much to go on. (If I had a time machine I would go back and yell at every civilization to write things down!), especially in regards to the highland clans and the battles that shaped them and Scotland as a nation.
I'm sure there is information in here even the most well read of History fans are unaware of and I highly suggest this book for anyone interested in Scottish history. There are some battles in here I wasn't even previously aware of and it's fascinating reading about them and tactics used by the war chiefs of the time.

I very much enjoyed reading 'The Castle in the Wars of the Roses'. As someone from Lancashire (whose cat is, in fact, named Bosworth), I knew a largely one-sided account of the war itself; this novel helped broaded my understanding on equal sides. Thank you to Dr Dan Spencer for this book, and to Netgalley, and Pen and Sword for allowing me to read this.
