@kellyshomemadekitchen It's in the area that was known as Northumbria. At present time it is west of Newcastle upon Tyne it is on the south bank of the River Tyne. I had to look up the area where it is in the present time because Northumbria does not tell us anything anymore😆 The family that built up and fortified the castle were the Umfravilles.
Was the illustration of the Savoy Palace a real picture of it or rather a picture of a generic very grand palace? Having read a great deal about John of Gaunt, his duchess Blanche and his mistress and third wife Kathryn Swinford plus the Peasants’ Revolt I’ve always wondered what the Savoy looked like at the time it was destroyed. Thanks for your fascinating videos. You have almost single-handedly inspired me to learn all I can about the Middle Ages, and it’s been a fascinating journey thus far.
It’s definitely the Savoy Palace: “The Savoy Palace, Strand” by Waldo Sargent (19th century artist) found on Bridgeman Images, also found it on Almay w/less info. So it’s a real picture the Savoy Palace painted through 19th century eyes. I saw your question, got curious myself and did 2 reverse image searches, Google and Tin Eye. :)
I read of the destruction of the Savoy Palace in the 1954 book "Katherine" by Anya Seton. I was 13 when I read it and it still makes me mad and slightly sick. Rich people can be evil but their money makes beautiful things possible. And that palace by all reports was filled with exquisite works of art.
I agree with you, it would be very cool. A couple bought an old Irish castle a few years ago that was in terrible shape but they put about 200k into restoring it and it not only turned out beautiful but also sold for 1 million.
Sorry I have to correct you there it should be “Scattered throughout the United Kingdom” as Linlithgow Palace was mentioned and that’s in Scotland, which is also a country
babe wake up, medieval madness posted.
@@imays12 I would in my beautiful castle
Medieval Madness is a favorite! I think that I have seen just about all your videos. If not, I have definitely given it a helluva shot
Nice video. Through my family tree, I discovered my ancestors built Castle Prudhoe. It now lays in ruins as well. Yet, it is still open to tourists.
Interesting! Where is that castle located?

@@kellyshomemadekitchen If I lived in the UK, I would go check it out. But I'm in the USA and don't think I'll ever have the chance to get there.
It’s such a shame we lost these castles. I wish they were still around. 😊
I remember watching an episode of Time Team where they found the remains of an old Roman auxiliary fort behind a Scottish Palace.
Why would you make up a lie like this? So weird
@@Muhammedalshabea why would you write such a dumb comment so stupid
@@Muhammedalshabea you have an empty UA-cam account so why are you a troll
@@grapeshot just because I don’t upload videos doesn’t mean you aren’t a liar
@@Muhammedalshabea nope not a lie at all as a matter of fact episode is entitled fighting on the frontier time team. Look it up coward
I connect Linlithgow to a famous poem called "Sir Archibald Douglas". Very sad and moving poem.

Incredible. Thank you!
I love your channel keep it up.
Cool video 📹 😎
Hey! You showed Neuschwanstein Castle at the start but that was built in the late 19th century ;) definitely not medieval. Gotcha!
I noticed that too
That's because the narrator is a real person but the videos themselves are created by AI based on the script and AI isn't that smart
Fascinating presentation!
A (nother) great episode!
Love this channel
i wish i was rich i would restore a old castle, would be so cool
I've read enough Lovecraft to know that would be a *bad* idea
I took a dump in an old castle
I agree with you, it would be very cool. A couple bought an old Irish castle a few years ago that was in terrible shape but they put about 200k into restoring it and it not only turned out beautiful but also sold for 1 million.
Same
You totally should. You’d have to be able to lift a hammer, though.
Let the madness commence ⚔
Really interesting ❤❤❤
I really love the music that's playing in all of these, is there any specific links to each one?
Just curious, how does a stone castle burn down?
Did you see that stone cathedral almost burn down a few years ago ? The floors and ceilings and detailing are often of wood .
@@francesconicoletti2547
Ah, I see. If you’re referring to Notre Dame, yes, but I was thinking it was mainly the roof that burned in that instance.
Madnieval Medness
Joffrey Chaucer? You’re kidding, right?
Wait till you hear how he pronounces episcopal…
And ' clerk' instead of 'clark'
Sorry I have to correct you there it should be “Scattered throughout the United Kingdom” as Linlithgow Palace was mentioned and that’s in Scotland, which is also a country
Geoffrey. No one calls Chaucer goffrey. I keep telling you. It's pronounced Jeffrey.
We can probably not nitpick.
And yet, Goffrey seems to have been the correct pronunciation when Chaucer was alive.
Shoulda brought up Slottet Tre Kronor
How does a fire "ravage" a massive stone building?
The supports that keep it standing where likely wood and the fires caused supprts to collapse causing the rest to collapse with it
wooden rocks
Interior wood panelling and tapestries all over the fackin shop..
Lots of materials and wooden stuff inside I imagine plus beams etc holding the roof and ceilings up.
Only the walls are stone, the rest is flammable material
You would want to be upwind of a stench buddy, not downwind as you stated.
"Dancing room" Rave*
It's SaVOY, not SAvoy. And 'Jeffrey' Chaucer, not 'Joffrey'.
