BOLTON CASTLE - War of the Roses - Battle, Treachery & Living History

Richard Scrope, 1st Baron of Bolton, was granted a licence to crenellate by Richard II. The Scropes were Yorkist supporters during the War of the Roses and we were very fortunate to be joined by Sir John Savile’s Household and The Beaufort Companye to give us an insight into medieval life and warfare during this period in history.

A extremely interesting castle. Thank you for sharing this video. I must make a visit there.

[@govisitcastles]

Thanks! It was really awesome to have the re-enactment crew there, it gave a real atmosphere. The smells too of the food cooking and the fire in the hearth...

I visited Bolton Castle in 2019 , I found it very interesting a place where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned. Sadly there were no workers or soldiers there that day but I did find a nail that had been made lying on the ground and kept it.

Děkujeme za vaše komentáře Serenis - rádi bychom natočili více videí, ale všichni pracujeme, takže nás to baví. A tento hrad byl určitě hodně zábavný!

Wow, that armour looked so heavy.Very interesting vIdeo!!

[@andrewstrain3539]

It is to carry, but when you are wearing it you don't notice.

[@govisitcastles]

Thanks Lori - we were very privileged that we had obliging knights and villagers to help!

Spent a night in a ghost tour heard a childs laugh and a groan which could be explained also a wooden bowl fell off a table which i did find amazing as there was no wind but i will remain a spectic until i see something

😎😁🤔😳🤓😶👋🏾... Is that my castle?

[@lorihoop3831]

Imagine my surprise when I found out my family actually built it! Found out through Ancestry, and double, triple and quadruple checked because I didn't believe it. But its true!

[@jasonclarke9026]

None of this was there when I lived there 😢

[@adamedwards1937]

I've done a couple of weekend camps there. Let's just say in February, that place ios damned cold!
PS, where's your theme music from?

[@govisitcastles]

One of our editor's compositions, he's written quite a lot of our music
