Osprey Norman Stone Castles 2 (0841766038)
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.
