Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, has been a site of fundamental historical, cultural and architectural importance for nearly a thousand years.
This new popular history of the castle explains how a Norman motte-and-bailey castle established by William the Conqueror around 1070 survived and evolved through the Middle Ages, the English Civil War, the Restoration of the monarchy, two world wars and the disastrous fire of 1992, to remain the premier royal residence to this day.
Beautifully illustrated with spectacular paintings,
drawings and photographs from the Royal Collection, this book also includes newly commissioned
photography of the castle as it appears today, as well as reconstructions of the castle at important
moments in its history, revealing how this
extraordinary building has evolved.
