To be totally serious and stuff, that video was interesting from the angle of looking at castle design. I never knew they were THAT intensely defended, as in all those murderholes and burning straw stuff, good vid.

That was excellent. If it does not get a full series on the BBC, then it is because they are mad.

Punchdrunkatheist, I believe you are on to something there... :)

I dunno, sounds like to me once you reach the third gate you're not a soldier anymore, but an unstoppable, flaming zombie. That has to suck for the other people.

Nooo don't get raped by TV. You'll just become puppets for organized criminals. You're too awesome for that. You're in control here.

Here is the thing: They have all those men and stuff that you can start a siege. Wait them out.

What a fun way of relating facts/information/history of such a beautiful place. This reminded me of taking field trips in grade school, when it was fun and safe to do so by teachers who loved what they did. Good job, please make more.

But you'd need awfully long ladders - beyond the moat wall is the (very high) castle wall itself.

The castle was heavily damaged by bombing in WWII and in April 1945 there was bitter fighting between US forces and the remnants of German SS troops holed up in tunnels beneath it.
