Yes, I know. But they owed me some money. And besides my general interest it would/may help with the genealogy section.

Almost 600-pages of information. The first 50 are taken up with a discussion on the various personnel in castles, and how some of the following tables have been made.
This book is based on 'known' sources, not who might have had this or that.Of course the larger well documented castles get the biggest mention. But many castles that you might expect to be in here, are not.
For the castle of 'Stratton' in Cornwall you have;
Owner.
Ranulph de Whitchurch (Blankmonster)
license to crenellate 30th January 1335.

And that is simple it.

May those who love us love us
And those who don't love us
May God turn their hearts,
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.
