episode description
This is the story of castles under attack. The Medieval journey from bows and arrows to gunpowder, with developments like trebuchet and cannon, meant engineers were always making advancements in defence construction. By the late Middle Ages, the military importance of castles was decreasing, as artillery power became unstoppable. But as we find out, even the siege of Pembroke Castle during the Civil War needed the tactical genius of Oliver Cromwell, not just big guns. The castle builders had created structures that was amazingly effective even in this new age of shock and awe.
