Castle: The Siege Chronicles

Travel back in time to the year 1203, to the famous Castle of Chateau-Gaillard, built by King Richard the Lionheart. But King Richard is dead and John, England's new monarch, has offended the King of France. Now it's war! Will the castle hold? How will peasants survive? Learn all about medieval warfare in this tale of a real siege, based on the diary of Baron Roger de Lacy. Foldout flaps provide a detailed look inside the castle and its grounds, while tiny bound-in books show pages from the diary.
