Battle Castles - Dan Snow<br />
The historian and TV presenter comes to Chepstow<br />
to give an illustrated talk on his latest book and<br />
BBC TV series “Battle Castles.”<br />
Dan Snow explores the world’s greatest castles:<br />
Edward 1’s network <strong>of</strong> castles in Wales; from Dover<br />
Castle to Chateau Gaillard; Richard I's fortress in<br />
Normandy; from Castillo de Gibalfaro, the last<br />
vanguard <strong>of</strong> Moorish rule in Spain to Krak des<br />
Chevaliers in Syria, an astounding feat <strong>of</strong><br />
engineering by the Crusaders. Each castle’s story is<br />
dramatically recounted - the building techniques,<br />
the weapons used and daily life within the walls.<br />
Spanning across the globe, and using the latest CGI<br />
reconstructions, Dan Snow gets to the very heart <strong>of</strong><br />
the bloodshed and battles <strong>of</strong> the greatest fortresses<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Middle Ages.<br />
Ticket price redeemable against book purchase at<br />
