	Castle - LoveToKnow 1911
		But the latter type belongs rather to the more settled conditions of the 12th century when haste was not a necessity, and in the first half of which the fine extant keeps of Hedingham and Rochester were erected.
		the relatively feeble siege artillery of the 13th century a wellbuilt fortress was almost proof, but the mines and the battering ram of the attack were more formidable, and it was realized that corners in the stonework of the fortress were more vulnerable than a uniform curved surface.
		"In the 14th century the change begins, in the 15th it is fully developed, in the 16th the feudal fastness has become an anachronism." The general adoption of cannon placed in the hands of the central power a force which ruined the baronial fortifications in a few days of firing.

	The Mapping the Other: Discursive Strategies in Mandeville’s and Polo’s Representations of the East
		Mandeville tells us that the fall of the apple signifies the fall of the united western and eastern empires that were once together under Christian rule in the time of Justinian in the sixth century.
		Mandeville’s narrative offers little that has not already been reported elsewhere, but here it is mediated through the fictive consciousness of an ageing English knight-errant, who literally and metaphorically wanders by the way.
		It is presumably Mandeville’s observations of the Polar Star and its antipodean equivalent, the Pole Antarctic, and his calculations of the circumference of the globe, which warrant his inclusion in Principall Navigations, an important and influential collection of the accounts of voyages and travels in the period of European expansion.

	Vacilando.org on Castle
		When European castles were opened up and expanded into pleasure dwellings and power houses from the late 15th century, their "castle" designations, relics of the feudal age, often remained attached to the dwelling, resulting in many un-castlelike castles and châteaux.
		The earliest recorded structures universally acknowledged by historians as 'castles' were built of earth and wood in Northern France in probably the late tenth century or early eleventh.
		This transition began in the 14th century and was fully underway by the 15th.

		Construction of new castles is attested from the Carolingian era, but their construction seems to have been related mainly to the defence of frontiers and of the main statal properties: the right to built such a structure was in fact a royal privilege.
		Henry I built a series of fortresses to protect the frontier west to the Rhine: a notable example is that of Werla, in Saxony, erected in 926 as a defence against the Magyars.
		Reliance was placed by the engineers of that time simply and solely on the inherent strength of the structure, the walls of which defied the battering ram, and could only be undermined at the cost of much time and labour, while the narrow apertures were constructed to exclude arrows or flaming brands.

		lthough the duration of de Haia's presumed tenure of Rumney is impossible to determine, there is little doubt that by the early 12th century it had become a demense of the chief lord and would remain so except for one period during the latter half of the 13th century.
		Even shorter was the tenure of Robert de Burgh, who came into possession of the lordships after his marriage to Isabel, but was forced to surrender them upon her death in 1217.
		Its existence afforded the de Clares lands to the south, a strong measure of protection which may have given rise to a certain sense of security, especially in the wake of the Edwardian conquest of Wales in 1282-83.
