How accurate an interpretation is Ivan Lapper’s interpretation of Kenilworth Castle at the beginning of the 13th CenturyIn this essay, I am going to examine Ivan Lapper’s interpretation, which he drew in 1986, and see if it is an accurate and reliable interpretation of Kenilworth castle in the thirteenth century. I am going to do this by examining written and pictorial sources about Kenilworth and other castles in general, and see if they help me answer the question. ...
