The Rise and Fall of the Medieval Castle | FULL DOC | SLICE EXPERTS

From early motte-and-bailey strongholds to royal fortresses, artillery-resistant citadels and Renaissance palaces, this documentary traces five centuries of castle design across medieval Europe. It shows how castles were shaped by invasion, feudal rivalry, royal ambition, new siege weapons and the constant need to build stronger, smarter and more imposing defenses.

More than military structures, castles were also homes, symbols of authority and tools of political control.
