Medieval history has always fascinated me especially castles. These historical fortresses inspired me to photograph the castles of England and Wales. Ken Russell's creative influence still pervades my photographic style today.
These images can be seen on my castle website:- www.castles-galore.com/
and at Collections Picture Library:-

“The crowning of William the Conqueror’s youngest son Henry,transformed the anointed monarch from a mere mortal
to a Consecrated Rex, a divine person, God’s representative on earth,
all powerful and all corruptible.
The appetite of King Henry 1st for power and control grew and God help anyone who stood in his way.”
Roy Stedall-Humphryes, Nemesis In Pursuit of Justice

“Medieval chroniclers
recording events of
their time could not
but reflect the
views of the reigning monarch.
As a writer of historical novels, I attempt
not only to tell
a good story
but to unravel that historical data
and seek the
truth within.”
Roy Stedall-Humphryes, The Norman Warrior

“What was my father really like?” asked Robert, sitting next to Wulfnoth in the front of the wagon.
“Well, let me see, that will take me all day and all night, but I will say this though. He was like a bright shooting star that raced across the sky and was gone. There was never a truer, valiant and more loyal friend. A marvel of a man…for a Norman that is!”

Roy Stedall-Humphryes The RAVEN the LION and the WHITE DRAGON
“A fusion of thoughts, seemingly unconnected memories, flooded into his mind. Edwin had once let his mother, Æelfi measure his height. She had said he stood, a blond haired, statuesque, seven feet. Statuesque? He liked to think he was no different from his companions who were also strong and just as capable as he. As far as his height and reach were concerned, true, it did give him an advantage when in combat. His friends at Earl Harold’s court, likened him to Stonehenge; his rock hard muscles, sagacious chiselled head set on thick broad shoulders. His beguiling smile hid his ability to see through people’s duplicity.”
