Danish Medieval Castles is the first comprehensive overview in English of the castles and fortifications that are known from medieval Denmark. The book tells the story of who built the castles, when they did so, and why this happened. Over the past decades several castle buildings and earthworks have been examined, a few new archaeological sites have been found, and old excavations have been reopened. All of this has resulted in new knowledge. The book also describes everyday life in Dansish castles in the Middle Ages, and examines the historic importance of the castles in times of peace and turbulence.

Text in German and Danish. A magnificent edition of Johannes Bengedans' handbook from ca 1450 on the techniques of war. It deals with canons and gunpowder, as well as war against castle and fortress and an attacking army. It is illustrated with splendid drawings by the author himself. He was a German craftsman/engineer who was employed by the Master of the Teutonic Knights and by King Christopher of Bavaria and Denmark. The text is translated into Danish and modern German, and language, chemistry, measurements and weights, the weapons of war and the historic connection are thoroughly explained. The book will therefore appeal to a broad public.
