Synopsis

From the Norman Conquest to the present day, the story of Alnwick Castle and the Percy family has been woven into the fabric of British history. The castle represented the family's dominance in the north and stood guard over the disputed, bloodstained borderlands. From the Norman knights who occupied and first constructed Alnwick Castle, through over 700 years of Percy ownership, great events in our history are seen through the lives of the barons, lords, earls and dukes who fought in battle and parliament to protect their and the nation's interests. Their involvement in the Norman Conquest, the Crusades, Scottish and French wars, various rebellions and plots, the Wars of the Roses, the English Civil War, the War of American Independence, the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War, and the two World Wars are documented as well as the architectural, archaeological, scientific, environmental and artistic heritage that they created and protected.
