	Keeps and Towers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The English say a man's home is his castle -- well, these were homes for very proud but insecure people, so they built these architectural masterpieces both to vaunt their grandeur in local society and for self-protection and the suppression of their serfs.
		The Keep (or at least the largest tower in a smaller castle) was not only the final bastion of defense, but the epitome of what the builder could accomplish esthetically within his means as a show of power and superiority.
		The most grandiose (Caernarvon's Eagle Tower) really is a keep, but it is not located where the keep would have been built had the grand plan ever been finalized (they ran out of money, what else?), so it is just the most glorified wall tower ever built in Wales.
