Château de Vincennes, France
Château de Vincennes, France, c. 15th century. Aerial reconstruction of the royal fortress with its vast outer walls, moat and surrounding fields. Illustrator: Jean Claude Golvin.
The great tower dominating this scene was the highest fortified keep in Europe, high enough for heavy siege engines to be placed on its roof. After Henry V of England died here in 1422, a later Vincennes legend claimed that his body was boiled down in the castle kitchens so that only his bones could be carried back to England.
