Correct, it was slighted in March of 1645 by order of Parliament.

@@historyworks19 Thanks for the info. It's most appreciated, indeed. It's a really beautiful castle, despite it being a ruin. Sadly, Kenilworth Castle, not far from me, was slighted after the 1st English Civil War, too, I believe. A lovely castle all the same, though.🙂🙂👍👍

Thanks for watching Neil!

Hey thanks for commenting, although it's recorded in the Anglo Saxon chronicle the widespread knowledge about the first attack in 789AD unfortunately just isn't there, it sure doesn't get the awareness it deserves. Thankfully In the past couple of years I have seen more experts talking about the subject so I'm hopeful it will gain more in popularity. I find listening to other peoples ancestry fascinating! it's one of my favourite topics, Scandinavian surnames are often a mystery to research (or at least for me as I also have a Viking surname but am struggling to find my ancestral roots.) If you find more information about your ancestry please feel free to comment your findings as I would love to hear more.😃

@@historyworks19 I am the same way, I love learning about my family's ancestry. I am also having trouble finding my ancestors past the 1200s to 1100s. Theres a big legend surrounding the Tuckers of devon that the family was started by a norman knight named John tucker who fought at Hastings and was given a coat of arms around 1080. This legend is unfortunately everywhere when it comes to the tucker origin story but its not true at all. Someone mistook page numbers as dates in the harliean Manuscripts for the coat of arms. I found the real family tree from devon on an online library and it clearly shows John tucker lived at the end of the 1400s in devon not the 11th century. Plus like I said our dna shows place and time we were in england before the battle of hastings and judging by other dna samples in the area we were most likely from the danelaw.

@@corytucker6668 t certainly sounds like a hard task but I'm sure you'll figure it all out. My ancestors where also Norwegian Vikings, however we are not sure how and when they came to England, our theory is that they either came over as mercenary's fighting alongside Harold Hardrada during his invasion in 1066 or the other being that they emigrated to northern Scotland some time before the Norman conquest (the northern parts of Scotland such as the Orkney Islands where then owned by Norway) this is when they slowly made their way down to England, but who knows to be honest. I enjoy coming up with theory's like that.

@@historyworks19 trust me I know what thats like. I've been going through endless theories for months now. It can drive one mad lol. I like your theories though, it would be awesome to have some connection to hardrada. I will continue to look through the murky past, the only real lead I have as of now is I know for certain the tuckers of devon are related to the tookers of East southern england.

To give you an update I found what seems to be a census of Devon england in the 1300s. It seems to point me sort of in the right direction on Tucker and toke being related.

She sounds like she is ready to slash her wrists. A monotonous, depressing drone is not the best voice for a voiceover.

Thank you for your comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed it 😃

And thank you for watching!

@@historyworks19 you are welcome

Wow that's amazing! My grandfather was brought up in the Purbeck area but more recently compared to 1882. Thanks for sharing!

I'm so glad it helped, thanks for watching!

Thanks, but most of my research from this video came either from books or with the help of local historians.

@@historyworks19 ok dude, but I read the wikipedia page about maiden castle before watching your video and you follow it almost line by line. Don't want to discourage you, just a bit of advice that if you read from wikipedia maybe mix it up a bit.

They didn't 'build' the hill knucklehead! It was already there, they simply shaped it with ramparts and trenches etc.

@@sebode87 and how do you know that "cat sit"

@@HitnganBecause I live about 10 minutes away from maiden castle, I know it's history well and walk around there regularly.

@@sebode87 Sorry but unless you Geotechnical Engineer and you have drilled a series of boreholes over the hill and logged the samples your not qualified to say that.

@@Hitngan look, they demonstrably did not just build an entire hill from the ground up.

Thank you very much, I’m so glad it helped you out and thanks for watching!

Do you know how.. With wat.

Thank you very much to you too, Glad you enjoy it! I’m finding your channel very interesting as well, I myself am into coin collecting though my collection isn’t as large and incredible as yours. I was also Hoping to go back to Corfe once life is back to normal.

@@historyworks19 Great to hear you like coin collecting! Thanks I have been collecting for a few years now. I mainly purchase my coins from coin fairs but they have all been cancelled last year which was really annoying, but hope to get some more interesting coins this year!

@@CoinCollectorhey that’s cool, the few coins that I do have are from the early 20th century, though I do have one Celtic coin and have recently bought an Elizabeth the 1st silver hammered which is how I came across your channel. :)

@@historyworks19 The Celtic coin sounds nice. Elizabeth I coins are a great place to start collecting. Being a uni student my budget is obviously limited but I find you can get nice silver hammered English coins for very reasonable prices.

@@CoinCollector Yes I’m very happy with both those coins, I think I need to collect some more Medieval English coins as they’re my favourite.

Ah thank you very much, I'm glad your enjoying them. Another video coming very soon!

@@historyworks19 great can't wait !!!

Thank you very much, it's really nice to hear such a lovely comment it means so much to me! I've always wanted to go to California it seems like such a beautiful and interesting place. Stay Safe!

Wow Mexico how fabulous, I hope to go there some day! Thank you very much, I hope you are all safe and well.
