Edward I's Castle Building Costs
Рет қаралды 2,334
Күн бұрынFlint castle in North Wales was the first of King Edward I iron ring of fortresses in Wales following his conquest in the 13th century. But what made Edward's castles so spectacular, so siege proof, so formidable?
With special thanks to Martin Moss at Dextra Visual for allowing us to use his incredible reconstruction of Flint castle - www.dextravisual.com/
And thank you to Flintshire County Council/Cyngor Sir y Fflint, on whose behalf the reconstruction was commissioned, for their permission also.

So glad you visited Flint, such an underrated fortress, the keep is the same design as Aigues-Mortes, where Edward sailed for Crusade in 1270.

Was nice meeting you gus here whilst filming, it was nice seeing people so clued up on the history of the castles of north wales. I learnt quite a bit more than i realised once i started telling someone else about them.
