  1. Very informative post, short and concise. I have heard most of the terms before, but never knew what some actually referred to. The pictures really made the terms clear. Thank you for the blog hop.

  2. This was so interesting! Thank you so much for the information, as well as for the giveaway!

  3. Castles are fascinating…I was in one in Ireland on one of the tours we were on and I could just imagine the history and stories and even a ghost or two behind the walls!! Thank you for sharing!!!

  4. I learned a bit more about castles particularly the bit about the Motte and building over an existing structure. Thanks you and thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

  5. This was a great blog post, kind of like “everything you always wanted to know about castles.” The illustrations helped a lot too. I’m sure I will find myself referring back over the course of my reading.

  6. I could have done with this post when writing mine! The construction of castles fascinates me. I love seeing the holes in the wales where the wooden scaffolding was inserted. The technical feat of constructing such a thing in the days before engines and cranes is truly daunting.

  7. Such interesting information. I’d never heard that they built one structure on top of another like that, but it makes sense. More room for dungeons! 🙂

    Thanks for participating in the hop!

  8. I loved the pics also. And as another comment said it made the items more understandable – especially the keep. I wish I could see them in person also.

  9. I liked the pictures of the castles. It’s fun learning about them. Haven’t been to Europe, but I did visit a castle called Casa Loma in Toronto.
