- From medieval fortress to Elizabethan palace, the History Roadshow visits Kenilworth Castle. Kenilworth Castle is located in the town of Kenilworth in Warwickshire. Constructed from Norman through to Tudor times, the building has seen Edward II as its captive, John of Gaunt and Robert Dudley as its masters and Queen Elizabeth I, its honoured guest.
Kenilworth has played a major role in English history which included the longest siege in medieval times.
In 1235 Henry III gave Kenilworth to his sister and her husband Simon de Montfort, who was the 6th Earl of Leicester. He was a nobleman of french origin and a member of the English peerage but was also the instigator and baronial opposition to the rule of King Henry III, which culminated in the Second Barons War.
At Evesham on the 4th of August 1265 Simon de Montfort entered the battlefield one last time, he was completely outnumbered but led his forces in a last desperate bid to end the saga. Up against him was Prince Edward the son of Henry III who would later go on to be King Edward I.
Kenilworth was given to Robert, Earl of Leicester in 1563. An English statesman and a favourite of Elizabeth I, he was also a suitor for the queen's hand for many years.
He was so keen to impress the queen he arranged one final attempt to woo her in 1575, it is said Elizabeth brought an entourage of 31 barons and 400 staff for the visit. She stayed for 19 days and the event was considered a huge success, yet even then the queen decided not to marry Leicester.
This has to be one of Britain's most prominent places to visit, its 900 history tells a story of war, peace, love and heartbreak. A piece of pure theatre. From the early days of Norman settlement to the medieval times and stately royal visits. This outstanding piece of architecture remains and with its beauty, a strikingly lavish and highly significant part of English heritage.

Fab video. The amount of work you put into this is phenomenal. Really helped bring Kenilworth back to life in a way just as those featured committed performers did.
Historical places can be just as interesting as the historical figures who inhabited them. If walls could indeed talk 👀 🏰 ⚔️ 🗣️ 💏 👑
When most think of Kenilworth and it's history, they think of Elizabeth and Dudley so to hear about it's roots and medieval history is quite refreshing.
You certainly visited on the most perfect day Jon, the sun, the greenery and those views. Amazing 💝
Hope to see more videos like this highlighting great British castles in the near future if possible Jon. Great stuff 😊
The video was shot before covid at an open day at the castle and reenactment of Evesham. Thanks for watching, I do have a lot of footage still to release from other venues.
@@HistoryRoadshow So I take we will be seeing other castles/venues highlighted in future videos then. If so hurray.
A lot of work involved obviously but do you enjoy doing them as much as enjoy covering historical figures
I enjoyed that very much! Thank you
