The extraordinary triangular castle of Caerlaverock, close to Scotland's English border, saw many sieges, the most famous being that by Edward I in 1300. "The Roll of Arms" is a description of that siege, in the form of a poem, written by one of Edward's heralds. As well as the descriptions of arms, there are delightful little word pictures of many of the combatants, with copious notes giving further background to the individuals.

The poem was written in French, being the language of the court. The original French is provided here along with an English translation by Thomas Wright. Each stanza is cross-linked so that you can easily flip between languages.

When this book was first published, in 1864, it was printed with the long s character . For this Kindle edition, this has been replaced throughout with the modern 's', to make for easier reading.
