What makes a man a King? Aside from genetic luck and a glittering crown, it’s a castle. From the defensive towers erected by William I to secure his conquest of England, to the grand banqueting halls of the Tudors; the luxurious state rooms of the Stuarts and Georgians to the lovingly and expensively maintained residences of the modern royal family. Royal castles and palaces have played witness to the lives of Kings and Queens and many key moments in history. In this three part series, we’ll explore 15 of the most historically important Royal Castles & Palaces of England. Let’s begin with the medieval castles, built to be tough and to impose the King’s might upon his subjects. The comfort and luxury were an afterthought to staying alive during siege warfare. These oldest royal residences in England have nearly a millennial of history under their belts. They have been transformed many times over the years and have served a number of colorful purposes, from seat of democratic government to scene of tyrannical torture and execution. From fabricated namesake of the modern royal family to Queen Elizabeth’s favorite home to this day.
The Palace of Westminster 1020s-1530
The Tower of London 1078-1500s

Hello how are you doing
Lindsay, your content and quality are truly stunning. I assume you don't have BBC-like funding but you make every cent count. Many praises to you.
I’d love to see a video like this on Scottish castles and palaces. We’ve a lot of history from Stirling and Edinburgh castles which are fairly old, up to balmoral which is pretty new.
Aye.😌
Me too. I wanna learn more about Scottish history. I find the country quite fascinating. Maybe a video on the Scottish royalty before James the sixth would be nice. Scotland did exist since kenith mcalpin the first became the first king of Scotland around the 840s.
I agree!
I don’t know if Balmoral counts. Not because it’s not a castle, it is and it’s stunning, but because it’s owned by the Queen in a personal capacity, not because she is head of state
@@Edmonton-of2ec True….but the history of it would still be very interesting.🤔
I'm already loving this series, Lindsay. Maybe you would also consider a series on British royal garments and famous dresses?
Ooh, that’d be cool.😮😌
Oh my gosh! Yes, please! As a budding fashionista, I would love to learn more about royal fashion! And why stop at the UK? I'd love to learn about royal fashion all around the world! 🌈💖💕❤️
I’d love that too.
I hope this series eventually extends to other castles, palaces & their equivalents in other countries. It would be interesting to see / learn about the differences & similarities in architecture, purposes & histories connected to each place around the world. 🙂
German castles would be awesome! Or just neuschwanstein.
@@chrisgeenadriver1631 yes!
Sounds ridiculous? I made my servants build walls around my bed chamber so no one could assassinate me! If I was hungry at night, the brick would need to fall and made again 🤗
@@jonesvideo80 Wow, your not funny subject!
King Henry?
Is it true you practiced Catholicism even after you announced Church of England?
@@BiG-JuPO1O1 the only reason I announced the church because I was tricked by that wh*re, Anne Boleyn! I thought she would give me a son but she just messed everything up in 1536
hey king henry
Remember when my older sister Mary put me in the tower? From my families teaching, I put everyone in the tower!
Hey Elizabeth :)
@@kinghenryviiiofengland4376 didn’t expect your daughter of all people to end up being one of the best monarchs in England did ya? Especially with how Edward turned out.
@@Nebulasecura tyty 😇
@@Nebulasecura Excuse me! If I didn’t marry Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth would’ve never been born- You should thank me for making her that 😤
oh the drama
You continue to astound me, Lindsay, you're so thorough, well-spoken, and intrinsic with everything you present. Thank you so much for your content. I always look forward to it.
19:20 Its true! Henry VIII wanted to have Hampton Court from Thomas Wolsey. He ordered Wolseys execution during the start of the English Reformation!
I’m extremely lucky to have grown up in Windsor. So I used to go to the castle frequently because residents get free entry. It is such a fantastic place to visit and highly recommend to anyone who gets the chance to go. Thank you for this video, it is really informative! Much love from the U.K. xx
How did you grow up there? As in, it's such a big place I'm so curious who else live in these castles and what their roles are, what people do each day? So many questions.
Gosh, this series makes me so happy as a historical architecture lover. 🥰 I'd love to see Windsor in person.
Ditto.
Its amazing, the dolls house is fantastic with genuine paintings in miniature by famous artists!
The tower is my least favourite of the castles. I never had good luck there, and it’s the last place my Princes were ever seen…
Sorry to hear that! Your child- Edward- would’ve been my inspiration- my uncle and like a father! I dislike my father
@@kinghenryviiiofengland4376 don’t worry, thats just the York in you.
Poor dear
@@queenelizabethwoodville8285 Was I great ruler tho 😔. Everyone around me was so Pecky and I couldn’t get a great decision on what to do
@@kinghenryviiiofengland4376 That a lie
Could you do a similar series about German Castles and Palaces too? That would be so great, just like this video is :)
I swear I see the ghost of my husband, Philip. Everywhere in Windsor Castle 😢
I see the ghost of mine making fun of politicians in Westminster
@@queenelizabethwoodville8285 😂
@@queenelizabethwoodville8285 Please scare Boris Johnson
Bit early for Elizabeth II to be here
@@BiG-JuPO1O1 🙏🏼
I was able to go and visit both Windsor Castle and the London Tower for my senior trip in 2018! It was an amazing experience, especially for someone from Mississippi haha. I was also able to go and see Notre Dame in Paris, exactly 1 year prior to the fire.
Lucky!😌I’m jealous.🥺
This channel is why I love history so much!
Here after all Kings and Queens RUclipsr accounts commented on Lindsay channel 😂
Personally, if I ever make it across the pond, I’m headed for the Crown Jewels. I’d so love to see them in person! 👑 💎 ♥️
I have to disagree, a lot of the Tudors favoured Greenwich Palace, aka Palace of Placentia, more than Windsor Castle. Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and Mary I were all born there. It was also where Henry VIII had his jousting accident.
Excellent video as always 🤗 I have been to the Tower of London three times, as I used to live in England. FYI- I truly hope that you will consider creating a video on the hauntings and lore of some of these famous castles for Halloween 🎃
I fell in love with Windsor. The little town and the castle were so beautiful.
I absolutely adore Edinburgh castle, it’s truly breathtaking
I've clicked the moment I saw your notification! Time to include these landscapes into our UK tour list! 🏰
Loving this series! I would love to see a video on Versailles, as well as one discussing the histories of the prisoners of the Tower of London.
I was lucky enough to go to the Tower and Westminster when I was studying in London. I really wanted to visit Windsor but Covid canceled the trip. 😓
Love these videos. Great job on part one. Thank you for what you do, Lindsay!!
you look so much like your great grandmother! genetics are truly incredible.
I listened to the full series on Spotify and I absolutely loved it ❤️
All your videos are so professionally done and are just so pleasing to watch.
I love this topic! I already love your videos but talking about castles is *chef's kiss* everything
as a high school student who is trying to expand their knowledge in history, (especially european history) these videos help me so much and cuz of it, i was able to getting 100% marks on my all my history assignments, essays and exams!! thank you for making so many informative videos!
Great history video. I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon. Your videos are always enjoyable and relaxing have a great day 😀😊
Worth noting Hatfield house which housed Princess Elizabeth (I) as a young child. Also in Essex there's a school that once was Beaulieu Palace home to Mary.
Aw I love seeing your photos of you visiting the castles! Amazing video as always :)
Have been waiting for this series to be uploaded on YT ever since I heard it on the pod.
I seriously love this channel.
Agreed.😌
I always love your videos. They're very informative and with great pictures.
I'm appreciating this series! I always had trouble telling most of the royal residences apart. Anything past some of the ones like Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, or Balmoral is often a roll of the dice what I actually recall about it beyond "it's a castle/palace in England."
Great video! So educational and informative.
Covers a lot of ground (literally) in a short time for the time-challenged (like me).
I needed to learn as much as quickly as possible and this was very useful!
Thanks Lindsay!
5:05 what an amazing painting by Turner
I enjoy these videos so much, thank you for the time, research and Care you have put into them
Another wonderful video. I’ve always loved the castles cathedrals and churches
We were just at Windsor this past April. It was really nice, especially knowing it is a working residence! We watched the changing of the guard, there, and were told The Queen was watching from her window across the lawn. 😊
The Tower of London is my top pick for things to see when visiting. The tours with the Beefeaters are fantastic and I LOVE the jewels and the ravens.
I''d love to return to England and visit more castles and palaces.
Watching your vidoes is my guilty pleasure lol so fasnitating and love all the research and knowlege you provide🥰
I love all of your videos I watch every single one 😻 thank you so much 😊
The tower is pretty cool. It’s so cool that the beef-eaters and their spouses actually LIVE there
I really enjoy this channel so glad I found it. 🇬🇧
I’ve always been fascinated with west Minster abbey. There are so many monarchs buried there as well as some poets and other important people
I love that as a motte and bailey castle you showed Cardiff castle.
Another wonderful seried Lindsay. Love your content!
Today is a good day. Lindsay Holiday has uploaded a video! 🤩
Thank you for this series!
I love hearing you telling this in Spotify and now I already have compare my imagination to your videos. Love from Philippines 😘
Yay!🎉 Thank you Lindsay!💜
NEW LINDSAY LET'S GOOOOO!!!
I love when you post new videos
Thank you Lindsay!
This is one wild family
The sponser was awesome!
The way we can can make black and white photos colored and make them move a little reminds me of Harry Potter and the pictures in that universe
I am going to London in October and staying near The Tower. And the Crown Jewels are #1 on my list! Great Video.
Thank you!
You make videos about history and I love history
I used to live near Windsor in the 1990s and saw the fire from a bridge near my home. When my parents came to visit a few months later, we went to see Windsor and Buckingham Palace, which had newly been opened to the public and had long queues. In Windsor castle you could still see the charred rooms that had burned. And of course we also went to see the Tower. While I was living in the area, I visited several castles, including Hamptom Court, the Pavillion in Brighton (I loved that! I dreamed of hiding there and stay over night 🤣) and Hever castle. And a couple of lovely gardens, like Sissinghurst.
love your channel
Hello Lindsay! 😊 Thank you for this quality content! I love the effort you put into all of your videos, especially your dry humour.
Would you be able to do a video on the history of post-mortem photography?
☠️📸
Buckingham palace or Windsor castle when the Queen isn’t there
Windsor for sure
I missed so many of these wonderful places when I visited London in 1972. I hadn't read enough history or Dickens or Austen to know what I was looking at. I did see the Crown Jewels and the Tower. I missed the costume collection at the V&A -- I thought it was closed, not realizing the curtains were drawn around the cases to keep the light from damaging them! Dang!
Ooouuuu make this a series for other countries!
Yes, especially Germany and France. 😌I’d love to know more about Versailles and Neuschwanstein.🤔
AMAZING. 👑
I am new to your channel , I just wanted to say I love what your content.
Lindsay I Like your Content so much that I Request you Part 2 & 3 in the Following Weeks.
This is so amazing interesting
It would be really cool to see individual videos about these one day. Perhaps in greater detail.
this sieries is gonna slay the house, or like castle
I have been fortunate enough to have visited Westminster, Windsor and the Tower of London!
Fantastic video x
Yes hav been Windsor a few times and live just fen through road from Buckingham Palace x
Love this
Hello Kristen, how are you doing?
I'd like to visit any of Henry VIII's palaces...was Hampton Court the property that he took from Cardinal Wolsey?
Yes and no. According to Wikipedia, after Wolsey fell from favor, he gave the palace to the King to hide his disgrace.
I really like to see Windsor and Hampton Palace.
Hampton Court is really lovely they have gorgeous gardens a very small maze though unfortunately. I remember going to the tennis courts onsite years ago don't know if they're open to the public because of Rona. There are also costume interpreters who roam around and occasionally do talks or little scenes in certain areas. I went there when they were reenacting the different weddings of Henry VIII and we could wear coats to show which side you were on and got to shout long live the King and Queen in the main hall.
I’ve been to Windsor Castle and the Tower of London twice, and to Hampton Court once. My favourite castle I’ve ever visited, however, is Hever Castle, childhood home of Anne Boleyn. Not a royal castle, but absolutely magnificent, and with the most beautiful garden ever! If you get the opportunity, I urge you to visit.😍
The shame of it I have never even visited for the changing of the guards. I don’t really like London, I have only been through three times and it is not anywhere I wanted to visit. But have been to many other castles around Great Britain,mostly ruined ones!but several to tour. This was really well done . Thank you 🥰
You. Are. a. GODDESS!!!!!
This is just one example.
POV: When you and the Boys are Locked in the Tower of London:
Edward V: GET ME THE HECK OUTTA HERE!!
I LOVE the Tower of London! I go there every single time I visit England! I visited Windsor once, not long before the fire (No it wasn't me!! 😜). I would love to go back Windsor someday. I also hope to go to Buckingham someday as well!
If I had a choice, I’d most love to visit Balmoral Castle.
You should team up with a royal clothes and jewelers expert for the funeral
I’m surprised that you mentioned a person who was married at Windsor Castle (there have been many - even the common public!), but you didn’t mention that the current KING himself was married there!! Then-Prince of Wales / now King Charles III married the current Queen Consort Camilla at Windsor, followed by a blessing at St George’s Chapel! 💒👰♀️🤵♂️ Thank you for this video and all your videos - very enjoyable and well done! 😊
I bet they don’t have Wi-Fi in those castle’s and they still use floor tvs too 😂
I've visited the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace. It was almost 20 years ago so I don't remember much.
I would love to see your video on Royal children who’s graves are unknown
I would love to see Windsor. I have seen many German castles. I would love for you to have one made of a lot of them in Germany
Hey, can you do a video on William Shakespeare's history plays relating to the royal family?
Hello, ma'am! I'm sincerely wondering if you could make another video about how and what medieval people used to weigh things such as food and also of how pecuniary matters work back in their century? What were their coins made of? Thank you so much and I'm loving your vids!
Can you please do a video on French Chateaus - the history / oldest ones still used today by the same family / government?
Please do more videos outside england
Well im Planning a Video about Countries that wanted to restore their former monarchies in the future after you make Part 2 and 3.
I want to go to London so bad. I had been saving up for a long time but covid hit. I'm waiting for the right time again. I want to hit up all the places.
Hi Lindsay are you going to talk about castles outside England ?? Like Balmoral castle in Scotland 👍🏼🙏🏼
Nice vid
Hey Abe!
