Where are websites that provide detailed plans of castles, battles, and • sieges.

Dunno about the Web, but check out the book _Castle_ by David McCauley (sp?)
It should be in just about every single library.  It also had a rather amusing
PBS show which went along with it.  Basically, it traces the early history of
a fictional English castle in Wales, probably ca. 15th century or so.  Lotsa
illustrations, some floor plans, good explanations and general castle theory,
etc.  Good stuff.

I have the book _Castle_ by David McCauley, real good book.  You also might
check out the book _Castles Their Construction and History_ by Sidney Toy. It
should be at the library as well.
