Download Windsor Castle: The History of England's Oldest Castle Still in Use AudioBook Free
Windsor Castle is one of many residences of the United kingdom Monarchy ever before conceived, and it has persisted to maintain that perfect balance between historical customs and modern needs. Built by way of a conqueror to guard his new domains, it now hosts vacationer groups from around the world. The castle has often offered as a refuge, using its early on battlements offering shelter to royals for centuries, as the castle helped protect others from the episodes of French kings and the Nazis. At the same time, it's known among the Royal Family's coziest homes, and it has long been preferred by monarchs with many children, including George III and his famous granddaughter, Victoria. Even today, Queen Elizabeth stays on there with four decades of royals, as Prince George and Princess Charlotte scamper across the same lawns that she and her overdue sister once enjoyed on. Given its importance, it's no surprise Windsor Castle has long been an important nationwide mark to the English. During the time of the English Civil Battle, the Puritans organised Windsor Castle and used its once beautiful chapel as a jail, but when Charles II came back into electric power, he transformed the castle into symbolic of his dynasty and the permanence he hoped it would enjoy, and though his dynasty did not withstand, the castle has. That said, the properties themselves have suffered much in their almost millennium-long history, enduring everything from dry out rot to flooding to fire. As recently as 1992, 20% of the castle was demolished in a fire that commenced with burning curtains and raged for hours, but each and every time it looks like the building has finally outlived its effectiveness or has been destroyed beyond repair, someone comes, usually someone with a crown or his or her head, and pieces it right and restores it. In this manner, Windsor Castle, and the United kingdom Monarchy, are both more likely to last for many years to come.
