Episode 3: 1321: The Great Siege of Leeds Castle

This third episode is packed with intrigue, violence and summary executions, capturing the turbulent few weeks when this now peaceful corner of Kent was at the epicentre of the struggle for power in England between the weak, cash-strapped Edward II and a coalition of angry rebel barons.

 

Picture Caption: No mercy: the 13 knights who had dared to resist Edward II were all hanged from the Barbican gates.
