Hooked on TdM
I browse the history sections of bookstores whenever I'm in them. You just never know what you might find!
Well today I found "The Historical Atlas of Knights and Castles" by Dr. Ian Barnes, The Rise and Fall of the Age of Chivalry. It's HUGE. Won't fit in my bookcase, so looks like it became my first and only coffee table book. I got it for a steal (50% off.)
I figured a nice historical study of Knights, Castles, medieval wars, and the Courts would help greatly in understanding The Courts and the Majors (some of them anyways.)
Anyone else have this book? What do you think of it? Know of any similar type books you think would be beneficial for learning the indepth history?
