The birthplace of King Arthur was really a Mediterranean trading post? And the shimmering towers of French châteaux told a story not just of royalty, but of symbolic innovation? Tintagel Castle’s myth-making origins to the nighttime lantern tours at Chambord, this episode dives deep into how history is shaped, reframed, and relit across centuries.
