Medieval Archaeologists Discover 3 Lost Dark Age Castles | Time Team | Chronicle
00:00 King Edward III's Castle
The team investigate King Edward III's Queenborough Castle at the mouth of the Thames, the last medieval royal palace. They explore whether the castle's purpose was defence, or to protect the royals from the plague.
48:08 Dungannon Castle
The team visits Northern Ireland to locate one of the most important sites in Anglo-Irish history - a hilltop castle above the city of Dungannon, home of the powerful O'Neill dynasty, whose story culminates in the hugely significant flight of the Earls. The team is joined by Colm Donnelly, Hiram Morgan, Paul Logue, and Jim O'Neill.
01:35:00 Empress Matilda's Fortress
Is this the English Empress Matilda’s castle from The Anarchy? A peaceful waterside field beside the oldest bridge over the higher reaches of the River Thames in Oxfordshire poses the perfect setting for an assault. Time Team set out to uncover what looks like the remains of a large medieval castle buried under the grass. Could this be all that remains of a long-lost fortress built during one of the bloodiest episodes of English history?

Time Team talks castles i listen. Love you guys
I love this episode! I learn so much English, Scottish, and Irish history from this show. Being of English and Scottish ancestry, I love to watch Time Team. Thank God it is available to stream.
Love watching archaeology shows! We get to see what they unearth and learn more in the process as well. I wish Canada had a similar show but i'm happy being able to watch any shows like this. Time Team is awesome!
I know the Dark Ages isn't a very popular term these days with academics, but man, it sure is evocative.
Best time team video iv ever seen, well done.
Edward III was the winner of the Battle of Crecy. It stands to reason that some of his works would be influential to future kings.
love this they are so much younger here

They have a full time job during the week also doing archeology so F/S/Su are the only days they can do the show. If they don't finish something, they have to leave it as is. They have a strict permit schedule.

Dark Ages? Matilda - ok, maybe. Edward III or XVI cent? Nah. (I know there are people who use that terminology broadly, but by the time of the O'Neil castle, the Renaissance was already over in Italy! And 14th century, while very grim, was well into, if not past, the High Middle Ages.
And now the natives of Britain are experiencing the same thing happening to ourselves today ?.
Do these experts even when medieval and dark ages occurred?
I dont think its only 3 days the research geting people and permants have to tske at leqst 2-3 Months
3 days for archaeology is nothing edit: actually watching the 2nd part of the video im sceptical they actually do it in 3 days, instead they have 3 days of recording in between however much time passes
wha ? oh yeah, i had a big ol' castle then i misplaced it, don't know where.
Edward III not Dark Ages….
Dark ages are Early Middle Ages begins 0450ce with pendragon welsh monarchy to 800 Chuck Karoles of Aachen monarchy.

@@eddygonzalez6018 Uther may be a myth, as well as Arthur but they were inspired by a semi-historical account of the native Britons defense against the Saxon incursion of Britain, along with the Angles. Though the man who inspired the tale may have been of Roman lineage, Ambrosius Aurelianus, as written about by Gildas a monk in the 6th century. He is considered by many to be the real King Arthur, or at least one of the many inspirations as mythical characters tend to be amalgamations of many.

Dark ages are from the fall of western Rome in 476 and ended with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. So, 500 AD - 1500 AD is what is regarded as the dark age of Europe.
1300 was not the dark ages, it would more accurately be called a part of the Middle Ages to late Middle Ages.

I take issue with you calling them "Medieval Archaeologists"
Those are not dark age castles. Those castles are from high medieval time.
Dark Age isn't the 14th century.

I imagine it depends on definition of “dark ages” as some people would define dark ages as 3rd-11th century while others might push it all the way to the beginning of the Gutenberg Press and Protestant reformation. Besides, it’s all Middle Ages, low Middle Ages, high Middle Ages, late Middle Ages, Renaissance, etc.
