The World of King Arthur
King Arthur, Camelot, Excalibur, Merlin, the Holy Grail, Lancelot, and Guinevere -  these names are some of the most recognizable and evocative in the cultural heritage of the West. They conjure up vibrant images of medieval Europe, of chivalry, and of romance.
But did Arthur really exist, or is Camelot only a dream? Snyder traces
the impact of Arthur throughout history, surprising the reader with the vastness of his contribution to the world's people. Even the modern concept of romantic love is ascribed to the evolution of his legends in Mediaeval Europe. An excellent survey of Arthur and his legacy from ancient Rome to modern Hollywood.



King Arthur : Dark Age Warrior and Mythic Hero
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have captured the world's imagination since medieval times. The tales of King Arthur are rooted in history, but over the years the facts have become shrouded in myth and mystery.  Arthurian expert John Matthews explores the legends that have grown around the king and uncovers the mysteries of Arthur's Britain. •Covers Merlin, Guenevere, Lancelot, the Holy Grail, and all the mythic search for characters  •Contains 120 color and black-and-white images


The Arthurian Handbook
Everything you ever wanted to know
about King Arthur and his knights: It
offers both historical facts and key
discussions on Arthurian subjects, from
post-Roman Britain to the most recent
novels and films.





Daily Life in the Middle Ages
Written in a style that is accessible to junior-high-school students and up, this book shows that life during the Middle Ages was neither as dark nor as primitive as novels, movies, or earlier historians have depicted it. In seven long chapters, the author, a lecturer on medieval history, analyzes "Eating and Cooking," "Building and Housing," "Clothing and Dressing," "Cleaning," "Relaxing and Playing," "Fighting," and "Healing." "Clothing and Dressing," for instance, has sections on fabrics, clothing, fashions, and accessories. The section on fashions, has subsections for tunics and doublets, capes and cloaks, and other items of apparel. Black-and-white drawings and photographs.



Life in a Medieval Castle
This book is absolutely the best
place to start if you want to learn
about medieval castles, how
medieval castles came to be, the
roles they served in medieval
society, how military strategy
through the middle ages centered
around the castle, how their
relevance declined with the
changes in technology and
the political scene that came
with the late medieval period. Gives the reader a very clear picture of what life was like in and around the castle, from the nobility through to the staff needed to keep the castle running to the villagers at the bottom. It shows the various functions the castle staff needed to serve to keep things running smoothly, from chamberlains, chaplains, seneschals and stewards down to pantlers, haywards and reeves. Historical anecdotes used to show aspect of castle life, from the manner in which meals were served to the ways provisions were acquired in an era where money was by no means a common exchange, and how matters of jurisdiction often overlapped in problematic ways (a lord might have jurisdiction over a castle but not over the forest surrounding it which belonged to the king). This is not what I would call the definitive text on all aspects of castle lore, but it is probably the single best place to start to get a clear and detailed education on, as the title indicates, "life in a medieval castle."
