Ep 5. The Massacre in the Cellar - Hopton
- October 6, 2014
Tony Robinson and the team travel to the picturesque remains of Hopton Castle in Shropshire to investigate a bloody series of battles at the height of the English Civil War when a Royalist force lay siege to a small garrison of Parliamentarians inside the castle. Using contemporary accounts and the evidence from their own trenches the archaeologists attempt to separate out fact from propaganda.
