Discover a violent history of conquest, resistance, and aristocratic power in this exciting exploration of two of Northumberland’s most iconic medieval fortresses.
Introduced to the English landscape after the Norman conquest in 1066, castles stood at the centre of medieval society, politics, and warfare in the region. The primary seats of power for the aristocratic Percy family – the real ‘Kings of the North’ – both Alnwick and Warkworth served as magnificent theatres of power for the Percys and focal points of the bloody violence which defined feudal politics. Join us as we take a detailed look at their design, function, and dramatic histories in the medieval period.
