    Caernarfon Castle: The Prince Who Spoke No English

    More than seven hundred years ago, the story goes, the king who built Caernarfon Castle in north Wales promised the conquered Welsh a prince of their own: one born in Wales, who could speak never a word of English. Then he named his own son, born at Caernarfon a few days before. The story was first written down three hundred years after the birth. This is the story of Caernarfon Castle, the fortress Edward I began in 1283 to settle who would be Prince of Wales. Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the Welsh prince who held the title first; the banded walls and many-sided towers, and the Welsh legend of Macsen Wledig behind them; the birth of Edward of Caernarfon in 1284 and the Eagle Tower room long shown as his birthplace; Madog ap Llywelyn's burning of the castle in 1294 and Owain Glyndŵr's sieges; and the investitures of 1911 and 1969, a ceremony much younger than it looks. The castle was built to end the question. It has been the stage for asking it ever since.

    Carcassonne: The Lord Who Died in His Own Castle

    On the 10th of November 1209, a young lord of about twenty-four died inside the walls of Carcassonne, a prisoner in his own palace. A crusading army had reached his city that August. Before the month was out its people had walked out with nothing, and he never left the castle again. This is the story of Carcassonne told twice: the fortress that was taken in 1209, and the fortress a 19th-century architect believed it had been. The Albigensian Crusade and the viscount Raymond-Roger Trencavel, told from the crusaders' and the south's own chronicles; the kings who turned the Cité into a double ring of walls; the treaty of 1659 that left it guarding nothing; the army's 1850 decision that nearly let it be pulled down; and Viollet-le-Duc's slate roofs, still argued over today. One of those men lost Carcassonne. The other gave it back.

    Tower of London: Which of Its Legends Are True?

    Every night at seven minutes to ten, a Yeoman Warder in a red coat walks out of the Byward Tower of the Tower of London with a lantern and the King's keys, and locks the gates. Most of what the world believes about the place he is locking is legend: the dripping dungeons, the hundreds beheaded on Tower Green, the ravens guarding the kingdom since Charles II. What the record holds is stranger. This is an episode that walks the Tower of London stop by stop along the route of the Ceremony of the Keys, with each legend set beside the record: a keep built to look as if it had four floors, a white bear from Norway fishing in the Thames on a rope in 1252, ten executions on or near Tower Green (not hundreds), the Crown Jewels melted into coins in 1649, Colonel Blood's 1671 theft and his pardon, ravens with no record before the 1880s, and the last execution at the Tower, a German spy, in 1941.

    Linderhof Palace: Ludwig II's Deal With Bismarck

    On 30 November 1870, Ludwig II of Bavaria, the king who built Linderhof Palace, lay in bed with toothache and copied out a letter he had not written. Bismarck had drafted it. It asked the King of Prussia to take the title of German Emperor. Seven weeks later the Empire was proclaimed in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, and Ludwig II was not in the room. Within the year, money from Bismarck's secret Guelph Fund was reaching him. This is an episode about Linderhof Palace in the Bavarian Alps, the only palace Ludwig II lived to see finished, and about what he built in the same years he signed away his kingdom's independence: a Hall of Mirrors of his own (modelled on Munich, not Versailles), a bronze Louis XIV in the entrance hall, a dining table that sinks to the kitchen so no servant need see him eat, and an electrically lit Venus Grotto for an audience of one. And about Count Holnstein, the man who carried the letter, handled the money, and came back in 1886 for the king who had signed. A kingdom of one.

    Bodiam Castle: Why England's Perfect Castle Is Empty

    From the north bank, Bodiam Castle looks like the castle a child would draw: four round towers, a gatehouse with its portcullis still in the arch, a moat so still it doubles the whole building. Walk through the gate, and there is almost nothing inside. In six hundred years no one is recorded fighting for it. This is an episode about Bodiam Castle in East Sussex, licensed in October 1385 to Sir Edward Dallingridge, a Sussex knight who had been "grievously wounded" defending this coast against French raiders five years earlier (the Close Roll of 17 September 1380). Was it built to fight, or built to be seen? We stand in three places to find out: on the north bank, where it is a fortress; on the octagon in the moat, where the medieval approach turned through a right angle and the castle becomes a display; and in the courtyard, where it is a shell. Along the way: the gunloops and the "murder holes", one of Britain's few surviving medieval portcullises, the order of 1483 to besiege a castle that seems simply to have opened its door, the Civil War story its own historian took back in 1871, and the man who decided not to rebuild it. Three places to stand, and one argument.

    Dover Castle: England's Forgotten French Invasion

    In the summer of 1216 a French prince was proclaimed king of England — in London, in St Paul's, by England's own barons. One castle on a chalk cliff above the narrowest part of the Channel would not open its gate. His miners brought down one of its two gate towers. The French went in through the gap, and were thrown back out. This episode is about Dover Castle in Kent: the Roman lighthouse and Saxon church on the hill, Henry II's Great Tower of the 1180s, and the siege of 1216–17, when Prince Louis of France — invited by the barons who had forced Magna Carta on King John — held London and could not take Dover from Hubert de Burgh and his 140 knights. We follow the one eyewitness, the Anonymous of Béthune (read in our own translation from his French), and Roger of Wendover on Louis's offer and Hubert's refusal after John's death. Then the phrase. "The key of England" reaches us through the chronicler Matthew Paris — and its best telling is not Hubert's but a blacksmith's, who in 1232 refused to put the fallen Hubert in irons (read from J. A. Giles's 1849 translation, abridged). The siege is why the north gate is walled up and why Dover first went underground; in the 1750s–1810s its medieval towers were cut down for cannon and barracks were tunnelled into the white cliff; and in 1940 Vice-Admiral Bertram Ramsay ran Operation Dynamo, the Dunkirk evacuation, from those same rooms — told to expect 45,000 men in two days. The official count was 338,226. One hill, asked the same question twice.

    Eilean Donan Castle: The Year Spain Invaded Scotland

    In May 1719, three warships of the Royal Navy anchored under a castle in the western Highlands, sent a boat with a flag of truce, and were fired on. That evening they opened up, took the castle with two boats' crews, carried 343 barrels of gunpowder out of it, carried 27 back, and blew the walls into the loch. The soldiers holding it were Spanish. This episode is about Eilean Donan Castle at Dornie, near Kyle of Lochalsh, where Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh meet on the road to Skye. A castle stood on the island from the Middle Ages, a stronghold of the Mackenzies of Kintail kept from 1511 by the MacRaes as its hereditary constables — its keepers, never its owners. In 1719 it became the headquarters of a Jacobite rising backed by Spain: 307 Spanish regulars landed on Loch Alsh while the main fleet of 29 sail and 5,000 men was wrecked by a storm off Cape Finisterre. Captain Boyle's own despatch of 12 May 1719 explains why he destroyed it: a deserter had told him the Jacobite camp two miles away held 4,700 men. A month later the Spaniards made their stand in Glen Shiel. For two hundred years Eilean Donan was rubble on a tidal island. In 1911 Lieutenant-Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap — a MacRae — bought it, and between 1912 and 1932 rebuilt it on the old footings to plans by the Edinburgh architect George Mackie Watson, adding the three-arched bridge that had never existed. The story that his clerk of works dreamed the vanished castle is a tradition; the plans were Watson's. Set into the foundation is the Clan MacRae Roll of Honour 1914–18, 468 names between two captured German field guns, with four lines of In Flanders Fields beside them. The most photographed castle in Scotland is, in the form you can visit, a war memorial with a castle on top — younger than the aeroplane, and honest about it.

    Château Gaillard: Richard the Lionheart's Doomed Castle

    In the winter of 1203, more than four hundred people lived in the open between two armies below Château Gaillard, in Normandy. The castle above them had put them out; the King of France below would not let them through. They ate grass. They ate the dogs thrown down from the walls. When Philip Augustus finally ordered them fed, almost all of them died. This is the story of Château Gaillard at Les Andelys — the castle Richard the Lionheart raised between 1196 and 1198 on a chalk spur above the Seine, on land that belonged to the archbishop of Rouen, and paid for with the seaport of Dieppe after an interdict left the dead unburied in the streets of Normandy. A wall of seventeen joined half-cylinders, a great tower with its beak turned inward on a solid foot, ditches cut from the living chalk: scholars still call it a turning point in fortification. It stood for six years. In March 1204, after six months of siege, it fell — and not to the window everyone remembers. A French squire did climb in through a chapel window with the latrines beside it, but that opened one enclosure of three; the last was mined, and the English chroniclers who describe the fall never mention a window. They say hunger. Roger de Lacy and his garrison rode out to die by the sword rather than starve. Then four centuries nobody tells: Saint Louis, a boy king of Scotland in exile, Marguerite of Burgundy becoming Queen of France inside her cell — and the friars of Les Andelys, who took the castle apart cartload by cartload under a licence from Henri IV. The siege did not make the ruin. Quarrying did. Château Gaillard: the bold castle — and the first man to write that name down was the man who starved it.
