Items matching castles taken from Book of Hours, Ms. Library of Congress. Rosenwald ms. 10 (1533)
castles: A fortified defensive building or structure. Strictly speaking, a castle was also a home, whereas a fort was purely defensive, but I have used castle for any fortified place. A castle may also have had a dungeon or donjon, a sort of prison for offenders and captured soldiers.
Synonyms: fort, keep, garrison

Some page images and details taken from a mediæval Latin Book of Hours in the Rosenwald collection at the Library of Congress in America. The manuscript was once believed to have been written and decorated by Geoffroy Tory.
The pages were scanned at the Library of Congress and are online there as Ms. Library of Congress. Rosenwald ms. 10
There are 113 leaves in the manuscript, which is written on parchment approximately 24cm high (10 inches or so).
In some cases I have digitally enlarged the images so that you can use them in print projects; this makes the larger images be slightly fuzzy.
