The siege of Kenilworth Castle in 1266 was one of the longest in English medieval history, as a party of rebel barons held out against the forces of Henry III and his son Prince Edward for nearly six months. In an entertaining talk Julian Humphrys will talk about how medieval castles were attacked and defended before leading us around the castle and giving a blow-by-blow account of the siege itself.

This event is graded as moderate access, as parts of the tour will involve walking on uneven terrain and navigating several stairs.
