For those interested in the cross border warfare between Scotland and England, this book gives a comprehensive localised history of Northumberland area by area, and in the process details local family history, and around 500 fortified sites (several hundred of which are bastles). It displays the wide variety of fortified buildings which await discovery by the castle hunter in this area, though for many you will need a keen eye.
Explanations or 'Digressions' are also given on a variety of national/international matters which had an effect on the area, such as The Battle of Flodden, The Prince Bishops of Durham, and The Christian Knighthoods in Northumberland. ------------------
