Title: Very superficial
Review: This book has 224 pages, more than 120 illustrations, and over 1200 entries. But all the subjects are treated very superficially. Most entries have very few lines ("Willian Marchal" is given 21 lines, "Oxford" is given 16 lines, "Knight" is given 21 lines, "Santiago de Compostella" 12 lines, "Gothic" 11 lines, "Romance" 5 lines). Few photos are really interesting. It is very deceptive if you're looking for detailled information (although the bibliography is quite extensive). It is a useful book only as a introductory work destined for very beginners on the times & lives of the Plantagenets.
