And, in fact, when you look at it, you can' t help but remember that this is a king who soon lost his head, at a dark and uncertain time for the nation. Windsor Castle is full of gems like this. Objects that are not only beautiful in themselves, but are also clues to the lives of the kings and queens who, in their different ways, have helped shape this unique building. The castle' s story begins with William the Conqueror. Around 1070, just a few years after he' d invaded England, William chose to build a fortress at Windsor, at the top of a steep chalk cliff. He chose this location for a good reason. This is easily the highest spot for miles around. You' ll see the enemy coming from a long way off. And strategically it' s important too, commanding the main route west out of London. |
