Windsor Castle: The Fortress That Outlived Every King

Windsor Castle has stood for nearly a thousand years, surviving siege, civil war, revolution and fire. This documentary traces the fortress from its origins as a Norman timber outpost built to intimidate a conquered people, through its transformation into a Gothic palace of chivalry, a Civil War prison, a Baroque showpiece, and finally a symbol of modern monarchy. It is the oldest and largest continuously inhabited castle on Earth, and the story of how it survived tells us as much about power, compromise and stubbornness as any political history of England.
