Fees: £ 15.00 Online lecture This lecture explores the castles that played a pivotal role during the Anarchy (1139–1153), one of the most complex and often misunderstood periods in English history. Although relatively understudied, the Anarchy had profound and lasting political, social, and archaeological consequences. Politically, royal authority reached its lowest ebb while baronial power reached its height. The number of earls and barons increased, and their rights to hereditary succession became firmly established. Archaeologically, the conflict transformed the landscape.
