Cary Clark / FAQ / Castle / history | |
| What period in European history does Castle represent? From Lindsay Frederick Braun: ! The latest theme, “Knight’s Kingdom” appears to be closer to the 14th/15th/16th centuries. The hat and armour configuration, as well as the Queen’s hair, eyes, and dress style, strongly suggest French and Italian influence. From Bruce Schlickbernd: ! The “kettle helm” or “kettle hat”, introduced in “Knight’s Kingdom”, originated around the year 1200 AD. Kevin Hall: ! Some of the timeline can be deduced from the shape of the castles. The descendants of the Romans built round castles. The Normans built square castles. Later castles have had renovations upon renovations so the original shapes have changed somewhat. The Internet Medieval Sourcebook provides a lot of helpful background information. |
