These centuries also, the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth, were the ages when architecture reached its height in Europe, and when the finest churches and castles were builL But it was only towards the end of this period, as times grew qu...ieter and law grew stronger, that we find many great houses strictly so called^ except within the walls of the cities. 22.
