Our primary source this month comes from the 12th century English chronicler, Roger of Hoveden (Howden).

Its significance is that the castles predate Richard's conquest (i.e., they are Byzantine structures) and serves as a nice segue into my interview next month with Dr. James Petre on the Castles of Cyprus!
