Well, if one castle isn't enough might as well re-inforce it with another castle. Then another castle...and another castle...and another castle.

My daughter wanted a bouncy castle for her birthday. The guy said the rental was $50, and the set-up fee was $1000 dollars. I said, “That’s outrageous!”

@andyleighton6969

Got to remember that Caernarfon was, probably more than the rest of the Ring of Iron, a political statement.

@splabooshkey3343

It's insane to me, I've been watching this channel for years and as a Brit who loves history i've been to so many of these welsh castles so many times - it's so cool to see someone who's taught me so much about castles finally visiting one of the ones i've been to most often and analysing walls i've stood on in so much detail.

Architect: "listen Mr King I know you asked for 1 castle but we have a special deal for you today of 8 castles for the price of 1."

Caernarfon castle is truly a very special place. I live in North Wales and have been there many times and its a true marvel of its time. It's actually quite easy to explain why its so huge, Gwynedd the county historically was its own nation with its own rulers, powerful families,culture and so on. During the English conquests of Wales or attempted conquests Gwynedd was notorious for rebellions and uprisings. In fact English and even Norman Lords had huge issues trying to rule and control it, and Gwynedd was often viewed prior to Edward I's reign as being the last bastion of Welsh Independance. It took a massive fortress like Carenarfon to finally subjugate the people there after basically a quarter of a millenia of struggle to finally get it under control.

If you want to see a castle that shows the different designs over a couple hundred years you should look at Aberdour Castle in Scotland, its a small one and more of a residence than defencive building, but over the years and the add ons/rebuilds because of fires and damage it shows off several centuries of design and concepts

@caedenkniep3528

These castle videos are 100% my new favorite content from your channel! I've been watching for about 7-8 years and these are truly a dream come true to see these castles from your perspective

@legiran9564

It's pretty much the castle analogue of Voltron.

@mandowarrior123

My friend had a farm overlooking conwy castle, (giant 8 grand tower castle) last farm of the mountain, frequently above the weather. I've had the pleasure of a grand view of the castle on many ocassions. He also had a house inside the walls of conwy and i've stayed there too. It has a nice icecream shop. Nothing like staying and living for a while in a real functional castle town where you drive in through the gatehouse.

@falconknight4964

When you’re thinking about how you’d design a castle for your story, these videos at Shadiversity are gems, or Machicolations comparatively. Thank you for sharing/making the videos !

@critter5248

I liked the emphasis on "very distinct reasons why" concerning the claims on the size of the castle, sometimes I'm not a fan of people who make claims like "this is one of the biggest castles" because that's rather meaningless to me when people are so prone to hyperbole, but additional comments like that help me retain information 🙇

@Likexner

This is amazing. Your castle content is the best. More castles, please!

@CreepyMF

Im so glad you got enough material from the England trip so that you can continue this amazing castle series.

@ondrejkratochvil4589

Well it's one of those Edward I. flexing castles English built while conquering Wales - they're all oversized... anyway I have to say of those Harlech is my most favourite one :)

@pkonneker

That is crazy huge

@haravikk

Went to Caernarfon as part of a holiday in Wales years ago, keep meaning to go back as the castle was a big highlight, but then there are just so many castles here in the UK. There's something like 80+ just in Scotland in good enough condition to look around (though many are just ruins you go look at, no specific visitor facilities or such), so it's hard to go back to one when I still haven't been to all the others yet!
