Check out the photos and floor plans for this castle. It's awesome. The conference room even has a round table. And I love the library!

This would be a dream come true!  Do you think I could cover the down payment if I sold my rambler in the Twin Cities?  :D

I love the "entrance to secret room" in the master suite, how cool is that!

Great God in Heaven...that edifice screams 'Ancestral Seat of the Paladin' all over it!!!!  I shall pray (and wish) for it.

I'd literally kill to live in a place like this. Main reason I want to move to Europe, the other being I don't see a good future for America at the moment.

I do envy the Europeans for their easy access to castles. I mean, castles are literally everywhere over there.

Yeah, the future is a bit uncertain over here in the US. But then again, all the more reason for men (and women) of good character to stand firm. If at the end of the day you can still stand tall, even with the world crumbling around you, then I think that is very knightly.

A quote from Black Knight. There were quite a few good bits to the movie, even though it's a comedy. :)

Despite myself I liked that movie...wonder what that says about me- toss the actors in mail and plate and you got me!  Plus the love interest was a hottie. 

I also like A Knight's Tale, even with the rock soundtrack.

It doesn't have to be historically accurate to be good or enjoyable. I especially like Van Helsing, which is one of those "plausible but excessively unlikely" movies ... but seriously, who DOESN'T want a repeating crossbow? And as you said with Black Knight, in Van Helsing, the love interest is a hottie too.

Wait a minute. I'm sensing a hollywood pattern here....

Pardon me, I'm headed back to the library of the castle posted above. :)

To find them in book format, no doubt.  ;)

I liked Van Helsing as well...and agreed.  She's even hotter wielding a sword as in Underworld (but, imho, Rhona Mitra KILLED as Sonya)!!!
