Inside the Donjon of a Norman Castle, c1934

Inside the Donjon of a Norman Castle, c1934. Illustration showing the principal tower which was known as the donjon or keep. The accompanying text explains that Donjon, which is the same word as dungeon, comes from a Latin word meaning to dominate, and the building was called a keep either because prisoners were kept there, or because the lords family kept or lived in the building.
