Tungkol sa ebook na ito
Castles Razed examines the deliberate destruction of castles in Western Europe from the late medieval period through the early modern era, revealing how razing these structures served as a vital tool for political control and state formation.
The book argues that castle ruins are not simply remnants of time, but active symbols of shifting power dynamics and challenges the romanticized view of castles by demonstrating how their destruction was a calculated effort to consolidate power and suppress dissent.
One intriguing fact explored is how the rise of gunpowder warfare rendered these once-impregnable fortresses strategically obsolete, leading to their intentional dismantling.
The book also investigates how these deliberate acts of castle destruction reshaped the physical landscape and historical memory, influencing architectural trends and national identity.

Focusing on the motives and methods behind the razing, the book explores key examples of castle demolitions, analyzing the political motivations, military tactics, and social consequences.
The study progresses by first establishing the significance of castles, then diving into specific case studies of deliberate destruction, and finally examining the aftermath of this destruction on national identity and architectural trends.
