Secrets of Great British Castles
Dover
Season 1
Episode 1
Popular historian Dan Jones visits the southeast of England, home to Britain’s greatest defensive fortress: Dover Castle. Towering above the famous white cliffs, Dan explores how this giant among castles was constructed as a statement of royal power but also out of guilt for the brutal murder of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, an event that shook Medieval Europe to its core.
