Life in the Castle in Medieval England by John Burke
An interesting insight into the day to day of living during medieval England. It painted an interesting picture of little a king would actually stay in his castle or how sieges would become nasty affairs or how a castle would prepare for battle.

Decent, but the author sometimes got a little condescending and had an assume the worst attitude that was mildly annoying.
