Discover Middle Ages

Castles have dominated the land for centuries. King Alfred built burhs to hold back the Vikings. King William I built stone strongholds to subdue his new subjects. These ancient structures offer protection, power and dominance for those tucked safely behind their walls.

Kings and Queens have ruled Britain since the Romans. Some were very successful, powerful warriors in their own right, expanding their kingdom and governing their subjects with authority. But others were quite the opposite, becoming tyrants or being deposed!

Medieval life was very different to today. Life was difficult for the majority, and even the highest in the land could become fatally ill, or be ousted from their position. With violence, famine, hard graft and war a common occurrence, medieval life was often short.

Medieval weapons have shaped our history, like castles have shaped our land. From handheld armaments used to inflict horrific violence, to vast structures used to destroy castles, medieval weapons have been notorious.
