Join the Go Visit Castles team as they explore Yorkshire’s Conisbrough castle, home of the upcoming Plantagenets with its unique stone keep. Built originally by William de Warenne, the castle that stands today was designed and built by Hamelin Plantagenet. Geoffrey of Monmouth noted that the land here belonged to Ambrosius Aurelianus, one of the candidates for the legendary King Arthur. Ambrosius had the Saxon leader Hengist beheaded and buried at the castle's entrance, under the mound that is locally known as Hengist's mound...

Absolutely beautifully shot and narrated, it's fantastic to see castles up north as we are from down south but are planning trips up north soon so it's fantastic to get some inspiration from your amazing videos! :D

My ancestor was born in Conisborough Castle She was Maud Clifford but died in Dudley Castle. Maud was married to .Richard of Conisburgh, 3rd Earl of Cambridge who was born in the Castle also. Enjoyed the video very much cheers from South Australia 🇦🇺

I think it was was Henry II/III would use a window seat just like that facing directly into the chapel so they could talk business whilst still being able to see mass 😂. I love the thought that only time and not space separates us, such an amazing video. 🙏

@govisitcastles 2 года назад

Yes, we've had some very interesting results tracing our ancestors. And that a few hundred years is a relatively short time considering the age of the planet. Thanks loads for the comment!

Nice that they have put the floors back and you can get to the roof..

@govisitcastles 2 года назад

They've repaired pretty much all of it, one of the best keeps we've ever seen!

In the 1950s, the Urban District Council wanted to demolish the Castle and use the stone to repair walls and houses in the area.

@govisitcastles Год назад

Just as well they didn't! I believe our connections to our past helps establish a sense of identity; Something that Connisbrough itself definitely needs..

Edmund Mortimer, earl of March, definitely did *not* die at Agincourt. He died in Ireland almost a decade later.

@banjodeano2202 Год назад

The tower has been considerably rebuilt, it was not like that 50 years ago..

@TheCraftyflo Год назад
