Castle Stories

 

The Deadly Siege of Kildrummy Castle The Deadly Siege of Rochester Castle Master James of St. Georges

These stories are taken from an unpublished manuscript by James M. Deem.

 

I didn't really know much about medieval castles when I was growing up; I was more interested in ghosts and UFOs. But my son David developed an early interest in castles, and he taught me many things about them. 

Motivated by David's fascination with all things medieval, I began to research the topic of castles. Many years later, I have been lucky enough to visit quite an assortment of them. One day I hope to write a book that reflects my own fascination with these unique fortifications. 

Here then are three castle stories that I've written, the first two involving deadly sieges. 

Castle Story 1: The Deadly Siege of Kildrummy Castle

Castle Story 2: The Deadly Siege of Rochester Castle

Castle Story 3: Master James of St. Georges
