Castle Rushen on the Isle of Man is one of the best preserved medieval castles anywhere in Europe.
It was started by the last of the Manx Viking Kings in the 13th century and since then it has witnessed extraordinary events and been lived in by some extraordinary people.
Presenter Charles Guard discovers its history, learns how it worked as a defensive building and tells the story of some of its more colourful characters.
Produced by Culture Vannin.
Culture Vannin exists to promote and support all aspects of culture in the Isle of Man. We develop innovative, inclusive and exciting projects that promote and support all aspects of Manx culture.

As a half Welsh half Manx person, I found this fascinating. My mother grew up in Castletown and I have many memories of the relatives who lived there. It's quite a unique place, but I didn't know the history of it or the castle until now. In NorthWales we have loads of bloody castles and the history of them is very well known. Thanks for posting this. It was nice to see the Island again.

This is a most excellent production. Seldom do we see history of any kind presented with such an impartial human face. The presenter is outstanding and had clearly researched his subject in great detail. Wonderful, I could not have enjoyed it more, and Castletown is a wonderful place to live, as I discovered during the mid 1950s. Well done production team.

This is an extremely well prepared and delivered presentation regarding the military and political history of the Isle of Mann. I happened to find this by accident on RU-vid. The local perspective provided by the host (who happens to be from the Isle itself) provides a huge touch of personal insight and perspective. This presentation focuses on far more than the original title but still delivers excellent context regarding the role of Castle Rushen over the past thousand years.

I love the image of the two people digging in the muck and only looking up to see the land's rulers change. Stuck in there for comic relief but it's a pretty good analogy for the lot of 99% of humanity over the last 6-7,000 years. Just struggling to avoid getting caught up in the wars started by (and for) the elites and trying to get next year's crops in the ground so they won't die.

Fabulous castle with an interesting and turbulent history with many of the main figures switching sides to suit themselves. The castle itself is in serious need of some lime pointing as the cement mortar that is visible is wholly unsuitable for it's structure. I just happen to specialise in the making and use of lime putty mortars and plasters and from what I can see the existing lime pointing has some great looking local aggregate and would have been slaked and mixed in pits on site.

That was really interesting! But at 33:05 you didn’t say why so many where opposed to John Kewish’s execution, or why he might deserve clemency. I looked it up and he was considered ‘simple-minded’ and many also thought he didn’t do it, though he's own version of events changed many times. Just thought I’d add that! 🤓

Boiling water or hot sand is what was more likely used than boling oil or molten lead because of the cost.

Her husband, daughter and son-in-law thereafter moved from Tennessee to Arkansas and the family was living there during the War to Prevent Southern Secession (so-called "Civil War").
