Summary |
Historian and presenter Dan Snow unravels the stories of six of the world's most famous castles. Built by King Henry II in the late 12th century, Dover Castle's magnificent square keep, intimidating forebuilding and innovatively-shaped towers live up to its reputation as the key to England. Dan joins the castle at the moment it faces its ultimate threat: attack by Prince Louis of France in the early 13th century. This vicious fight challenged Dover's military power, and its outcome would determine the fate of the English crown. (From the UK) (Documentary Series) (Part 3 of 6) PG CC |
