The Medieval Castle That Saw The Murder Of The King Of England | American Viscountess | Real Royalty

[@jeanbridgman7513]

You have an American here who would love to bring all her cats and move to the UK country side. My grandfather actually immigrated from Scotland. We heard so many wonderful stories. I'm 79, but perhaps a visit still is worth dreaming. For now I shall enjoy through you. God Bless. 🌹🇺🇸

[@ClaireL77777]

Thank you lovely American lady for embracing and appreciating our history and values. We welcome you with open arms. Thank you 🙏

[@cynthiaalver]

Give me a table, a comfortable chair and leave me alone in the archives and I'll see you next Spring. The history! ❤

Ohh what a lovely thought 🥃🤝

[@francer1793]

Agree 👍

[@courtney3437]

900 years of documented family history is absolutely amazing. I enjoyed this video.

[@emmaphillips3847]

900 years of documented history blows my mind. Amazing. So envious of Charles's upbringing! Imagine growing up in a 900 year old castle. Just... wow

[@bambambillybears8170]

Just imagine having those letters in your HOME!!! Where you lived and played as a child!!! I would have taken a desk and sat there for days reading all of those old correspondence from back then!!! Imagine reading a letter from Queen Elizabeth the First OMG I would be in my glory!!!!

[@odinfromcentr2]

Would most of us have appreciated such things as children though? 🤔

[@nancyrolfe3033]

I just had to leave a comment (I normally don’t)…. I could actually FEEL the emotions as he described what it was like growing up with his brother in the castle..”jumping out when visitors were going through “ and “his mother ringing the bell for lunch “ and 2 young children running after playing “soldiers” on the roof…. Magical! Absolutely magical!! I’m still smiling thinking about these little boys having a blast playing ❤️. Just didn’t expect to connect on such an emotional level when watching. Thank you for making my day a little brighter. I’m so grateful I watched as having my coffee as I’ll think of them throughout my day and my heart will be happy 💕

[@Smartychase]

What an absolutely lovely comment ❤

[@germainepaul1903]

A fairy tale story in the sorts, wow incredible history. Thank you Viscountess Julie for taking us on this wonderful tour and getting to meet the lovely Mrs Berkeley.

[@johnreynolds3801]

The Castle remains "alive". How very wonderful.

[@ЖИЗНЬВЛЮКСЕ]

good museum

[@vicnurse5]

Breathtaking....as an ex Archival librarian the part with the manuscripts blew me away, and the general history of the castle is amazing, being an Aussie, in a young country (as in we don't and never have had royalty) I just love your video's and the things you show us. How I would love to be able to see the hidden parts of these beautiful places.

[@laracraft82]

Incredible timbers wow beautiful what quality!😮❤ love love the tapestries...I would have my house surrounded by them they help keep the warmth in your house too while looking stunning. What a place to grow up!️

[@angelsinger4574]

I’m really enjoying this! The Viscountess is so charming and affable. As someone who has studied the monarchy for many years, when I think of Berkeley Castle, I think mainly of Edward II. But this place has so much more history than the death of a king, and the urban legend that surrounds it. There’s also more Tudor history than I expected. I’d love to see more like this!

[@CodyEllison-w6x]

She just needs to stop bringing up her husband’s family as it were her bloodline. The videos are amazing and very informative, but I wish she would just listen, educate and bring the history to us as she is doing. Please just stop saying “my family”

[@CodyEllison-w6x]

I can promise the mom who has lived in the castle for 50 years was appalled at the videographer who focused on her shoes and not her upper body.

[@CodyEllison-w6x]

Shame on the producers who had a camera at the woman’s feet! Once again the host is talking about the house she lives in, give it a rest and just let people speak.

[@mcr4986]

​But IT IS Her family, of course is not bloodline because she married into it.@@CodyEllison-w6x

WOW all these relatives you should organise an ancient family connections get together and have it filmed it would be of huge interest.....just a thought

[@raygay3375]

This is a very interesting and thorough look at the castle. Thanks for sharing this with those of us who may never have the opportunity to visit in person. ❤

Julie I just love the history of these houses! Thank you so much for these wonderful tours and letting us meet so many interesting people.

As an American, history love both US and UK, it is so refreshing to see how much you love and care for your adopted country. I love the enthusiasm you have - the American in you shines through - you can take the girl out of the US but you can’t take the US out of the girl. 😅This was a fantastic episode. Such a treasure. Happy holidays from Alexandria, VA.

This has been the best video so far. What a castle. Extraordinary. Thank you Julie and Charles. Everyone is so enthusiastic. It is wonderful to see. I wish everyone at the castle the very best.

[@doormatt4393]

An absolute treasure! I can imagine Jethro Tull performing Minstrel in the Gallery in the great hall. Would never happen of course, but I can dream can't I?

[@nancyhammons3594]

Years ago, when I first started this kind of videos, I wondered about letting the public in to your home, but now I understand that financially it would ruin the family. I do enjoy seeing and going on Viscountess Julie's travels with her. One of the this that I like about the older estates, is that the people living there are also building things like the cafe/shop and will provide employment for the local populations.

[@StainingYourMind]

I love all the people who live in these castles, manors, and country homes today. They have such a sense of the history of the place, and a sense of their place in it, plus, many tend to be quite eccentric, and it's hilarious in a good feeling kind of way.

[@clementines9]

Wow the coat of arms stained glass are amazing

[@barbarabell1171]

***Thank you Julie for your tour of this lovely castle! As always, Greetings from MN, USA!***

Wow, how beautiful is the mother of the family. Shes so pretty and still looks amazing for her age. Such an amazing castle with a fascinating history, id never be out of the archives. I bet theres some incredible stuff in there, i mean if you can just whip out letters from Queen Elizabeth 1st as a little taster absolutely incredible place

[@OoxB505]

This castle’s not too far away from where I live, I’m a born and bred Bristolian. I’ve visited it and it’s simply incredible. Our country’s history is so rich and we should be proud of it! Love when Americans are interested in our history.

[@marshaprice8226]

A wonderful tour of a wonderful place! The video title caught my attention as, having a long time interest in English history, I knew the king was Edward II. So I was so interested to see the room where his story happened. But the castle and the estate is so much more than just that one story. The whole visit was fascinating! I was especially excited to see the muniments room and was thrilled to see the historic documents. If I had access to that room, that is where I would definitely spend most of my time! 🏰

[@SirBelvedere333]

As an American our country is so young, I can only imagine what artifacts can be found in Europe that had yet to be discovered. I love history.

[@Smartychase]

And to think one day so will we be history 😢

[@wolverineeagle]

If you are an American of European descent this is your history too.

[@SirBelvedere333]

@@wolverineeagle oh my I never thought of it like that. My 23 and me dna test shows I’m mostly German then Scottish. So I guess it’s true, it is mine too. I was stationed in Fulda, Germany in 1984-85(18 months). I loved being there so much.

Fantastic video! Amazing history! Thank you for being so interested in these old castles and all the details you love! Enjoyed it!❤

[@saraw8503]

The British are so very protective of their history. Here in America our birth is very recent and there are those eager to rewrite and even destroy the history. That makes me very sad.

Part of the reason Charles the second was able to be restored to the monarchy was because of my Pendrill great grandfather Julie. He owned Boscobel, gave the king his clothes and hid with him in the oak tree. Oh , and the first Baron de Berkeley was my 22nd great grandfather . Would love to look around the castle.

[@michelleg7]

This was a fantastic episode, I love hearing about Berkeley Castle and I remember really hearing about it from when they did an episode of Who do you think you are with actress Courtney Cox as she descends from the Berkeley family also. The current family are descendants of Roger Mortimer which is why I think it's so neat cause the Queen of England shacked up with him and the King, her son had him executed. But to be associated with the She-wolf of France in such a notorious manner, whoa 😬😵
