OverviewWindsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, has been a site of fundamental historical, cultural and architectural importance to Great Britain for nearly 1,000 years. In this new official history of the Castle, architectural historian and broadcaster Jonathan Foyle explains how a Norman motte-and-bailey fortress built by William the Conqueror in around 1070 survived and evolved through the Middle Ages, the English Civil War, the Restoration of the Monarchy, two world wars and the great fire of 1992 and remains the premier royal residence of Her Majesty The Queen to this day. Beautifully illustrated with spectacular paintings, drawings and photographs from the Royal Collection, this book also includes newly commissioned photography of the Castle as it appears today, as well as 3-D reconstructions of the Castle at important moments in its history, showcasing how this extraordinary building has changed over ten centuries.
