episode description
Increasingly the role of castles changed from being military fortresses to becoming places of symbolism and fantasy. This episode traces the changes to Windsor Castle under Edward III, when it became an icon of regal glory and a centrepiece for his cult of chivalry – including his famous recreation of King Arthur’s Knights of the Garter. This episode visits the elegant 15th-century apartment block that is Burg Eltz, the Disney-esque chateaux of the Loire in France, and reaches a conclusion with the 19th Century Gothic Revival reconstruction of Cardiff Castle.
