Inside the CASTLE where THE KING of England was MURDERED!

ROUND-BREAKING AI BRINGS HISTORY TO LIFE – NEW EXHIBITION UNVEILS THE UNTOLD STORY OF A GILDED AGE AMERICAN HEIRESS.

A new exhibition offers a glimpse into the captivating world of Alberta Sturges Montagu, the 9th Countess of Sandwich, and an American Heiress from the renowned era known as The Gilded Age.

Curated by Mapperton’s very own American Viscountess, Julie Montagu, the "American Heiress" collection is comprised of more than 10,000 previously unseen letters exchanged between Alberta (Sturges) Montagu and her family, as well as the peerage at large.

Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period. They offer a remarkable glimpse into the life of a "dollar bride" during the Gilded Age, shedding light on both triumphs and struggles.

“With the aid of cutting-edge AI technology, we've resurrected Alberta's voice, allowing her to answer visitors’ burning questions about her remarkable journey,” says Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke.

Here, you'll enjoy early and ad-free access to all our vlogs and Historic House episodes, along with exclusive behind-the-scenes videos, American Viscountess merchandise, and more! Your support is what fuels these vital Historic House episodes. 🎥

Where do I start? The grounds and gardens, the beautiful stone work, the fact that it has been in same family for 900 plus years, the tapestries on the walls, paintings, the ceilings made from wood from ships, the prison history (albeit, gruesome), the Norman arches and fireplaces, the new upcoming plans, on and on. This was a superlative video, Julie, does You Tube give out Emmy’s? If so, I nominate you, right now with this one. And chock full of content, this is like a mini-series. You ask all the questions we might all want to ask!! ❤

My husband’s family castle on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, Dunvegan, castle, was built in the 13th century. The McLeod family has been there ever since.

Amazing history and restorations. The grounds are breathtaking. Love that there is room for some laughter and joy. ❤

This is SO exciting! Elizabeth de Berkeley, Countess of Warwick & Baroness Lisle (1386 – 28 Dec 1422) is my 22nd maternal great grandmother. Lovely to learn more about my family history. I recognized the family crest from my family tree. We were right in the middle of the big inheritance battle!

I'm also a Montagu thru Sir Edward, the judge. He's one of my favorite great grandfather's because of his fascinating career. My line descends from Sidney's brother Charles. I'm in California and I love being able to visit these beautiful historic houses connected to my family by watching your channel 💖

To me the most beautiful castle and the sweetest interview. What lovely lovely people💖🌸

My ancestors. Thank you, it's so beautiful. I adore them, so charming. I hope to visit someday.

The reason that Elizabeth I signed her name with the flourishes below was so that no one could write anything else below her signature... something that she didn't want written. Basically, she was protecting herself from anyone who would undermine her.

An incredible amount of history in one place…simply amazing!! With all the history that has taken place, there must be a number of restless spirits still walking the halls!😊

Greetings from Costa Rica! I’ve been watching here and Italy for at least a couple of years. This is one of my favorites! Great job, deep drive! Love, love, loved this!

Julie, please put a photo of Mapperton’s front door and walkway with the Eagle’s present when we see these wonderful stories of historic homes. They were only missed a short period of time compared to how long they were presented there. They are an important presentation of your home. Love this video today. Much love to you and all two legged and four legged at Mapperton❤

[marybarratt]

This was lovely to see. I absolutely loved hearing of its history. Those tapestries were gorgeous. The castle is spectacular indeed and thank you for adding Berkeley to your list of wonderful visits. May the generations continue to inhabit this fantastic construction.

[mariaangelesmarinramirez]

[chefvaleriewilson]

I love watching your videos on all these historic old homes and castles. Hearing the history is so interesting. You have such an enthusiasm for all these houses, I do believe if I was in your shoes I would have the same reaction. My mom's side of the family comes from England so this is all very fascinating to me. Thanks for your work.

[deirdrecerasa]
