10 Must-See Medieval Castles in the UK

  The medieval period in the UK, spanning roughly 1066 to 1500, was marked by conquest, rebellion, feudalism, and architectural innovation. Following the Norman Conquest, stone castles sprang up across England, Wales, and Scotland, not just as military strongholds, but as symbols of royal power and local authority. From the Iron Ring fortresses of Edward I to keeps that withstood civil wars and royal intrigues, these structures shaped the course of British history. Today, they offer glimpses into medieval life, warfare, and kingship. Here are ten must-see medieval castles across the UK, each steeped in drama, legend, and centuries of stone-bound resilience.   1. Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England. Source: Flickr   Founded around 1070 by William the Conqueror, Windsor Castle began as a timber motte‑and‑bailey fortress guarding the western approach to London. In the late 12th century, Henry II replaced wooden defenses with the iconic stone Round Tower and curtain walls. Edward III transformed it into a lavish Gothic palace during the 1350s–1370s under William of Wykeham, spending a record £50,000.   Today, the castle remains the world’s oldest and largest inhabited castle, continuously home to 39 monarchs. Visitors can tour the grand State Apartments, home to the Crimson Drawing Room, Grand Reception Room, and Waterloo Chamber, adorned with triumphal paintings commemorating Napoleon’s defeat.   St George’s Chapel, built in late‑medieval Perpendicular Gothic style, houses royal tombs, including Henry VIII, Jane Seymour, and Elizabeth II, and is the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter. Don’t miss Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, a 1920s miniature marvel.   A devastating fire in November 1992 gutted key rooms, but a €36.5 million restoration preserved the castle’s historic grandeur.   2. Caernarfon Castle, Gwynedd, Wales An aerial photograph of Caernarfon Castle, a medieval fortress in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, north-west Wales. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Caernarfon Castle, located in Gwynedd, Wales, was built by Edward I in 1283 as part of his campaign to conquer and control Wales. Unlike many other medieval castles, Caernarfon was designed to be both a military stronghold and a political statement. Its striking polygonal towers and banded masonry were inspired by Roman imperial architecture, signaling English dominance.   The castle was constructed by James of St George, a master mason from Savoy, and features extensive defenses including gatehouses, curtain walls, and towers. One of its most famous moments came in 1284, when Edward II was born there, later made Prince of Wales, beginning a tradition that continues to this day.   Today, Caernarfon Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can explore its towers, walk along the battlements, and learn about Welsh and British history at the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum inside. It’s one of the best-preserved and most impressive medieval castles in the UK, both architecturally and historically.   3. Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland Edinburgh Castle, Scotland. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Edinburgh Castle, towering over the Scottish capital from Castle Rock, has been a site of human occupation since the Iron Age and a royal stronghold since the 12th century. Built atop an extinct volcano, it served as a royal residence until 1633 and has played a central role in Scotland’s military and political history. The castle is known as the most besieged place in Britain, having endured at least 23 sieges.   Among its key features are St Margaret’s Chapel, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, dating back to around 1130. Visitors can also explore the Great Hall, completed in 1511, and the Royal Palace, where James VI was born in 1566. The Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels, are housed here, alongside the famous Mons Meg cannon and the Stone of Destiny.   Now a major tourist attraction, the castle draws millions each year and hosts events like the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. It remains a powerful symbol of Scotland’s past and national pride.   4. Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland, England Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland, England. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Bamburgh Castle, perched on a basalt crag above sweeping sandy shores, has been a coastal guardian for over 1,400 years. Originating as the Celtic fort Din Guarie and later the Kingdom of Bernicia’s royal seat around AD 420–547, it eventually fell to the Anglo-Saxons under King Ida. The Normans rebuilt in stone, completing the central keep in 1164 under Henry II’s reign. Declining in the 17th century, the castle found new life when Lord Crewe restored parts of it in the 1700s. In 1894, industrialist William Armstrong purchased and revitalized the fortress, adding lavish interiors and preserving its medieval grandeur.   Today, visitors explore more than just monumental walls: the medieval kitchens and keep speak to everyday castle life, the grand Victorian-era King’s Hall impresses, and the Armstrong & Aviation Artefacts Museum in the former laundry reveals feats of industrial ingenuity. Outside, battles of sand and sea host rare plants and wildlife along the SSSI-protected dunes at the castle’s foot.   Films like The Last Kingdom and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny have captured its rugged beauty. Whether soaking in panoramic North Sea views, tracing the steps of Northumbrian kings, or marvelling at Norse swords and 19th-century engines, Bamburgh Castle offers a sweeping journey through nearly fifteen centuries of northern English history.   5. Conwy Castle, Conwy, Wales Conwy Castle, Conwy, Wales. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Conwy Castle in north Wales, perched on a rocky ridge overlooking the Conwy Estuary, was built by King Edward I between 1283 and 1289 as part of his strategic “iron ring” of fortresses during the conquest of Wales. Designed by master mason James of St George, it once cost around £15,000, an astonishing sum at the time.   A rectangular fortress featuring eight massive towers, twin barbicans, and solid curtain walls as much as 15 ft thick, it was intended to project both military strength and administrative authority. Inside, well-preserved royal apartments showcase medieval comfort and privacy, complete with a private garden and chapel.   Visitors today can climb spiral staircases in the great towers, walk completely around the battlements, and enjoy sweeping views of Snowdonia to the west and the town’s medieval walls below. Conwy Castle endured sieges during Welsh revolts, sheltered Richard II, and was damaged during the Civil War before becoming a romantic ruin in the 19th century.   Now protected by Cadw and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it remains one of Europe’s finest late‐13th‑century military fortresses.   6. Dover Castle, Kent, England Dover Castle, Kent, England. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Dover Castle, perched atop the White Cliffs of Kent, has guarded England’s shores since Roman times. Its origins trace back to an Iron Age hill fort, followed by a Roman lighthouse around AD 50, the oldest standing Roman structure in Britain.   After 1066, William the Conqueror recognized its strategic importance and reinforced it. Most of the existing keep and concentric walls date to Henry II’s reign in the late 12th century, making it one of Europe’s earliest examples of concentric castle design.   Inside, the Great Tower recreates royal court life circa 1180s. Nearby, the Saxon church of St Mary in Castro stands next to the ancient Roman Pharos lighthouse. Below the cliffs lies a labyrinth of tunnels from the Napoleonic era and World War II, where Admiral Ramsay coordinated the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940.   Visitors today can explore the Secret Wartime Tunnels, scale the medieval battlements for sweeping Channel views, and experience family-friendly exhibitions like “Dover Castle Under Siege”. As “England’s Key,” it blends two millennia of history, military, royal, and civic, within one commanding fortress.   7. Warwick Castle, Warwickshire, England Warwick Castle, Warwickshire, England. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Warwick Castle stands stoic on a sandstone bluff beside the River Avon, a medieval fortress born of Norman ambition in 1068 when William the Conqueror built a motte-and-bailey stronghold . Over the next century, its wooden walls were replaced by stone, and between 1330–1360 enhancements like Caesar’s Tower and Guy’s Tower transformed it into a formidable symbol of feudal might.   This castle isn’t stuck in the past. It pulses with life. Inside, the Great Hall and State Rooms showcase royal grandeur, while guided tours reveal stories of the Kingmaker, Richard Neville, who held Edward IV prisoner within its walls . In summer, the courtyard erupts into action with jousting, the thunderous Legend of the Trebuchet siege re-enactment, and The Falconer’s Quest bird-of-prey show.   Families adore Zog Live and the Horrible Histories maze, while thrill-seekers can brave the ramparts and Princess Tower. After dark, the castle hosts eerie Ghost Tower evenings in the Watergate Tower, where Fulke Greville’s ghost is said to wander.   8. Chepstow Castle, Monmouthshire, Wales Chepstow Castle, Monmouthshire, Wales. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Chepstow Castle, perched dramatically on a limestone cliff above the River Wye in Monmouthshire, Wales, is often hailed as Britain’s oldest surviving post‑Roman stone fortress. Commissioned in 1067 by William fitz Osbern, a trusted ally of William the Conqueror, it guarded a vital river crossing into Wales.   As successive magnates took control: William Marshal, Roger Bigod, and Charles Somerset, the castle evolved over centuries. Marshal added the iconic twin‑towered gatehouse and divided the site into three baileys; Bigod later introduced lavish domestic quarters and the curved “Marten’s Tower,” complete with its own chapel.   Visitors today wander through layered history: mighty curtain walls, the Great Tower, and Tudor-era rooms that echo both martial purpose and noble residence. Remarkably, the castle still houses Europe’s oldest medieval doors, dated to before 1190 and preserved inside. Sites like Marten’s Tower, named after Henry Marten, a regicide held there, remind us of the Civil War’s turbulent echoes.   Managed by Cadw, Chepstow hosts reenactments, falconry displays, and seasonal events that bring its rock-hewn chambers to life. Whether tracing Norman ambition, gazing across the Wye, or imagining medieval feasts in its halls, Chepstow Castle offers a captivating slice of Welsh and Marcher‑lord history.   9. Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, England Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, England. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Alnwick Castle in Northumberland has stood sentinel since the late 11th century, with records dating back to 1138 describing it as “most heavily fortified”. It has been home to the Percy family, now the Dukes of Northumberland, for over 700 years, making it the second-largest inhabited castle in England.   Originally built post-Norman Conquest, the castle was modernized over centuries, notably after 1309 when Henry Percy fortified it against Scottish raids. Today, it showcases both medieval military architecture and lavish Georgian and Italianate interiors crafted by architects like Robert Adam in the 18th century.   Visitors can tour its grand State Rooms, stroll the ramparts, and explore the Abbot’s Tower, which houses the Fusiliers Museum. It’s also famed as a filming location, for Harry Potter, Downton Abbey, and more.   Adjacent to Alnwick Castle are the award-winning Alnwick Gardens, featuring the iconic Poison Garden and a spectacular Japanese cherry orchard that sees over 350,000 visitors each spring.   10. Rochester Castle, Kent, England Rochester Castle, Kent, England. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Rochester Castle, standing tall above the River Medway in Kent, is a formidable Norman stronghold built of Kentish ragstone. Commissioned by Bishop Gundulf between 1087 and 1089 for King William II, it stands on the site of a Roman fort and commands the ancient crossing to London.   The imposing 113‑foot keep, one of England’s tallest, was added in 1127 by Archbishop William de Corbeil under Henry I’s watch.   In 1215, the castle faced one of England’s fiercest sieges as King John attacked rebel barons. They resorted to mining with burning pig fat, toppling one corner of the keep, yet the defenders held out for two brutal months before starvation forced surrender.   Visitors today can climb the ruins of the keep’s interior, view the scarred walls, and enjoy riverside gardens on the former bailey. A sensory Smell Trail adds engaging scents, from medieval chapel incense to fish-filled storerooms, to bring history alive.   The castle park also hosts seasonal events and open‑air theatre. A short stroll brings you to Rochester Cathedral and Dickensian charm that inspired one of Britain’s great novelists.

How to Gain Power as a Medieval Woman

  For medieval women, carving out a place of power was exceedingly difficult. For hundreds of years, medieval women and their stories were overlooked and forgotten. However, a select few managed to gain power for themselves in the form of influence or money. These extraordinary women have something to teach us about medieval society and how it was possible for women to gain such power and agency that we would read about them hundreds of years after their deaths.   Support the Pope Sculpture of Matilda of Tuscany, 17th century. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Many of the most powerful medieval women gained their power through their families. However, having ties to royalty or other notable family members did not guarantee a woman’s influence. To truly find her own power this way, a woman must have both intelligence and the ability to build strong personal relationships.   Matilda of Tuscany lost her father at a young age. Her mother Beatrice inherited his power and took care of Matilda. She and her mother became very close and even co-ruled for a time. Matilda was married twice but neither marriage was long lived. After her marriage to Godfrey the Bearded began to sour, she left him and repudiated him to enhance her own power. This was rare for women but since her wealth and power came from her parentage, she did not need his support. After both her husbands and her mother died within months of each other, Matilda found herself in a position of great power.   Matilda was the inheritor of much of her wealth and power, however, Matilda was also very intelligent and powerful in her own right, speaking multiple languages and understanding military strategies. She was a devout supporter of the church and was able to lend her military support to the pope, granting her favor with him.   Matilda defended Pope Gregory VII against Henry IV of Germany who was in a struggle for power with the church. In fact, it was at Matilda’s castle that Henry IV came to submit to Gregory in an act of humiliation and to ask for his forgiveness. To receive his forgiveness, Henry was said to crawl on his knees until the pope granted him penance for acting out against the church. Having a woman at the center of such a politically significant event was a testament to her power and influence.   Ruling in Their Own Right Queen Eleanor, by Frederick Sandys, 1858. Source: Art UK   Eleanor of Aquitaine became one of the most powerful women in Europe when her father died in 1137 CE. He left her Aquitaine as well as an additional seven counties. She was now in control of his holdings, which at that time were greater in size, strength, and influence than France.   From birth, she held an advantageous position. She was the Duchess of Aquitaine and received a thorough education. When she married Louis VII of France, she united the two kingdoms under her. Aquitaine and the well-educated Eleanor were not satisfied with letting her husband rule without her input since she brought much more power and wealth to their marriage.   Although the marriage between Eleanor and Louis was not harmonious, she wanted to join the king on his crusade to Jerusalem. While on their voyage back, it was Eleanor’s army, not the King’s, that was better trained and better managed. Louis’s army was disordered and was eventually attacked. However, since Eleanor’s army was well trained, they had journeyed ahead, leaving Louis’s army trapped and without aid. This led to further division in their already cold marriage and eventually, they divorced. In a true showing of her power, Elenor chose her second husband herself.   Becoming a Religious and Cultural Icon Joan of Arc at the Coronation of Charles VII, by J. Ingres Pit, 1854. Source: The Louvre, Paris   It was not only noble women or well-educated women who were able to gain some influence in medieval times. Joan of Arc is considered one of the greatest heroines of all time, yet it is believed she could not read or write. Joan of Arc gained influence over the people of France through her visions and devotion to God. Joan often had visions from God and the people of France found inspiration in her words and actions.   When Joan was just 17 years old, Charles VII granted an audience with her. At this conference, she promised him he would be crowned king of France. Although he had doubts about her legitimacy, Charles allowed her to accompany the French army and allowed her to wear armor. Her fellow soldiers respected her as a woman of God and with her as their muse, they won a victory over the English in 1429. She also obtained wounds in battle, once getting shot with an arrow between her neck and collarbone. She is reported to have pulled out the arrow and kept on fighting. Although her exact role in combat is still debated today, this image of her assured her status as a folk Catholic icon.   Unfortunately, Joan’s positive influence on the people of France was short-lived. She was captured in battle against the Burgundians. The English then took Joan to Rouen where she was put on trial. Joan was accused of many things including witchcraft and wearing men’s clothing and held in prison. In 1431 when Joan was just 19 years old, she was burned at the stake for her alleged crimes.   Ruling by Proxy Margaret of Anjou, engraved by J.W. Cook, 1714. Source: Queen’s College Cambridge   At the age of 15, Margaret of Anjou (1430-1482) married Henry VI of England. Margaret was placed in the unique position to represent her French family and felt pressured to advocate for them in England regarding the Maine region, which the French wanted returned from England. Ultimately, Margaret was successful in obtaining Maine for France. Although the amount of influence she truly had over Henry is contested, it seems that Margaret did have at least some say in the decisions Henry made.   Henry was not a strong ruler and lacked knowledge of military strategy. The people around him often tried to manipulate him. Margaret, however, managed to stay on friendly terms with the powerful nobles.   Margaret also seems to have intervened in other matters. When rebels began fighting on London Bridge, they were later offered pardons which they credited partially to Margaret’s request.   Margaret of Anjou marries Henry VI, 1484. Source: BnF   Henry’s family had a long history of mental illness and soon Henry would succumb to what some have called depression. In 1453, Henry’s army was defeated at Castillon which rendered him catatonic for 18 months. He needed assistance to eat and walk and did not respond to those around him. This was so severe he did not react to the birth of his first-born child. In his stead, Margaret put herself forward as a regent but the role went to the Duke of York. Margaret worried for her son and future king of England because the duke had his own claim to the throne.   Once recovered, Henry resumed his throne, however, the Duke of York retained some power from his Yorkist loyalists. Unfortunately for Margaret, she became the envoy in this power struggle as her husband was still too weak. Margaret was willing to take care of the affairs of the state on behalf of her husband and son. She often led her family through political crises and was credited for her diplomacy in such matters.   Devoting Themselves to Religion and Study Hildegarde receives a divine vision, illumination from the Scivias, by Hildegarde of Bingen, 1151. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Hildegarde of Bingen held significant power in the Catholic Church. In a time when women rarely enjoyed influence over the Church, Hildegarde of Bingen found fame and influence with her religious visions and music. Pope Eugenius III, busy fighting the Cathars, allowed Hildegarde to teach and speak publicly. It was very unusual for a woman, but the Pope saw her as an ally for those who would reject the Catholic Church for other forms of Christianity. Hildegarde was concerned about heretics and used her platform to call for reform.   Although the Catholic Church had at times been at odds with Hildegarde, she was well regarded by many of her male colleagues in the church as someone who could provide guidance. Monks, bishops, and other clergymen often wrote to her seeking advice, and she often supplied both spiritual and practical wisdom.   In addition to her role in the Church, Hildegarde composed a large body of music, much of which survives today. In retrospect, Hildegard held great influence over the religious community, far more than any other woman at the time.   However, Hildegarde also received letters from people from all walks of life and she did not discriminate nor assign special privilege. From giving kind advice to commoners to admonishing kings, Hildegarde felt secure enough in her position to express herself fully. She may have been allowed to do this because her advice letters provided donations to the church by those who she had helped and others who believed in her cause.   Book of Divine Works, by Hildegarde von Bingen, 1210. Source: Library of Congress   Even though the motivation for the Church giving her such a secure position may have been financial, Hildegarde was a force for good. She was a respected individual and person in her own right and not just a woman. For the time being, this was an astonishing accomplishment.   In addition to her influence over the Church and religious matters, Hildegarde even opened her own monastery in 1150 where young girls were often sent with a deep sense of security and safety. This, of course, caused some shock among monks but nonetheless, Hildegarde opened a second monastery in 1165. Much of Hildegarde’s letters, writing, and compositions survive today.

What Was Athena the Goddess Of? Her 3 Domains

  Athena is one of the most famous deities from Greek antiquity. Born in full armor, springing forth from the head of her father Zeus, the virgin goddess was her father’s favorite daughter. She was also a favorite among the Greek people as the patron of not just Athens but also Pergamon and Sparta, among others. But what did the ancient Greeks believe Athena was the goddess of? Why was she so popular?   Wisdom Pallas Athene, attributed to Rembrandt, c. 1657. Source: Calouste Gulbenkian Museum   One of the principal domains associated with Athena was wisdom. Born out of the mind of Zeus, the association existed from the moment of her divine creation. From her wisdom grew many characteristics that came to define perceptions of the goddess in Greek culture.   She was viewed as having unmatched cunning, and was known for her calculated reasoning and pragmatism. As such, she was a major figure in military conflict, representing the strategic aspect. This intellect was also found outside the battlefield. Her wisdom was sought by those looking for insight and those who required good counsel.   Probably representing Athena in her guise as the goddess of wisdom, she was, and still is, associated with the owl. While academics have many theories on why the owl was represented in depictions of Athena, the owl is still considered a symbol of wisdom today, largely thanks to Athena.   War Statuette of Athena with an owl, Greek, c. 460 BCE. Source: Metropolitan Museum of Art   The Greek world was not constrained by having one deity to represent a single concept. Gods were multifaceted with many associations, and there was often significant crossover between the domains of different gods.   Athena and Ares were the two Greek gods most closely associated with war. This led to a rivalry between the two beings, who, through the epic stories, came into conflict on more than one occasion.   However, while Ares represented the fury and bloody nature of battle, Athena represented the strategic side of military conflict. Athena also had influence over other aspects of war.   She counseled Zeus in his war against the Titans, and it was Athena who gave Zeus the potion that he used on Kronos, causing the Titan to regurgitate all of Zeus’ siblings. Thus Athena was instrumental in Zeus’ victory. As such, Athena was the goddess of victory.   Detail from a vase depicting combat between hoplites on the Chigi Vase, Greek, c. 7th century BCE. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Athena was also a commanding figure in the realm of personal skill in martial prowess. She was often depicted wearing the armor of a warrior or a soldier. The most striking symbols of her role as a warrior were her helm, shield, and spear. Most depictions of Athena include these three objects.   Weaving Athena Changing Arachne into a Spider, by Antonio Tempesta, 1606. Source: Los Angeles County Museum of Art   Athena wasn’t only tied to the serious business of war and outsmarting her enemies. She was also associated with handicrafts. She was most closely associated with the art of weaving, and she was seen as a protector of those whose livelihood revolved around the loom. By extension, Athena came to symbolize patronage of all handicrafts.   According to the mythological tales, a mortal, and pupil of Athena, Arachne, challenged Athena to a weaving contest. Such was Athena’s ire upon seeing the quality of her opponent’s work that she chastised her pupil, tearing her work to shreds. Arachne was so dismayed she hanged herself, after which Athena took pity on her and turned her into a spider.   Such was Athena’s importance to the weaving industry that every four years, a new peplos (robe worn by women in ancient Greece) was woven for the statue of Athena on the Acropolis. This was a major undertaking, as the statue was 38 feet (12 meters) tall!   Athena embodied the spirit of much that the Greek world held dear, and reverence for her was widespread. From the realm of war to far more peaceful pursuits, she was a beloved part of the Greek pantheon.

Let’s Play a Game….You In?

I have written a lot about Brittney Griner and how I am not 100% convinced “she” has XX chromosomes. Actually, that’s not fair….I’m not even 50% convinced! But sometimes it’s better to SHOW rather than TELL, so I thought I’d make this fun. Let’s play a game, you in? Listen to the video below where I’ve purposely made it “Audio Only” and tell me if you hear a man or a woman talking. Post your answer in the comments below before I do the big reveal. Ok? Watch here: Let’s play a game….. Post your answer below! pic.twitter.com/77lZTU5TV8 — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) May 24, 2025 Backup video here if needed: Did you win? We’re you right? Or did you guess man? I guessed man. Sounds like a man to me, man! Your thoughts? RELATED REPORT: LIP READING: Brittney Griner Has Racist Freakout? LIP READING: Brittney Griner Has Racist Freakout? Did Brittney Griner just have a racist freakout while the cameras were centered right on "her"? Why are the Democrats and Black People seemingly always the most racist people out there? Or is it ok to be racist against White People? Because that's the message I'm getting. Check out this clip where Brittney Griner seemingly calls Caitlin Clark "trash" and then quickly follows that with "f--ing white girl". Take a look: Brittney Griner seemingly calling Caitlin Clark “trash” and a “f—ing white girl.” after fouling out pic.twitter.com/GQqUfMBqPf — OutKick (@Outkick) May 24, 2025 I mean....that's wildly racist, right? Imagine if the roles were reversed and Caitlin Clark said "f--ing black girl" about Griner.  It would be the absolute end of the world, you wouldn't hear the end of it for DECADES!

Meanwhile…. pic.twitter.com/E75SxTiu7G — Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) May 24, 2025 Thank you Jason, very well said. This comment wins the day: Meanwhile, since Griner was not mic-ed up in that clip and all we got was lip-reading, have you ever actually heard "her" speak? You may have noticed I put "her" in quotes every time I use a pronoun for Griner, because I am bound to journalistic standards to report truthfully and honestly and based on all available research, I cannot confirm Brittney Griner has XX chromosomes. See what you think: Ummm, Why Does Brittney Griner Sound Like This? Ummm, Why Does Brittney Griner Sound Like This? Have you ever listened to someone on the radio for a long time but never known what they look like? Then you see a picture of them one day and it's not at all what you had in your head? This is the reverse of that situation. You've probably seen Britteny Griner before, but have you ever HEARD her? Let's just say after you hear her, you might be asking if "her" is the appropriate pronoun to be used in that sentence. Just take a look and see for yourself -- or should I say, hear for yourself: First time I'm hearing Brittney Griner's voice ?pic.twitter.com/tw4PxoW7Dc — Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) May 13, 2025 Backup video here if needed: BREAKING: WNBA star Brittney Griner is going viral on the internet after fans discovered what she sounds like for the first time after releasing this video. pic.twitter.com/W7YRuxOTxn — Dom Lucre | Breaker of Narratives (@dom_lucre) May 14, 2025 Come on folks, be honest... Is that a woman? Have you ever heard a woman sound anything like that? Close your eyes and listen, and then tell me you wouldn't bet everything you own on that being 100% a man.... And it's not like it's just a weird video or bad audio or something. No, I've documented this many times before. Not just the voice, but also the fact that "she" constantly walks around topless: Why Is Brittney Griner Walking Around Topless and Sounding Like a Man? Why Is Brittney Griner Walking Around Topless and Sounding Like a Man? Since the WNBA is hot right now and I can't turn on the news without seeing a story about Caitlyn Clark, I thought we should talk some WNBA too! But I don't want to talk about Caitlyn Clark or all the thugs that keep trying to injure her in the games.... And I definitely don't want to talk about the actual basketball. No, what I want to talk about is Brittney Griner and "her" voice....HOLY CRAP! Have you ever heard "her" talk before? No, I'm not just being rude or insensitive, I'm literally asking if you have ever heard "her" talk. Because it's very jarring! All I can say when I hear it is: If you're like me and you've never listened to her speak before, you might be just as shocked as I was to hear this. Understand one thing..... The video I am about to show you has not been altered in any way.  This is her real speaking voice. Just watch and listen and then watch and listen again with your eyes closed: ??DEVELOPING: Brittney Griner appears to have released another video since several people on the internet were in disbelief about her voice. pic.twitter.com/tvwM7yucen — Dom Lucre | Breaker of Narratives (@dom_lucre) February 25, 2024 Backup: This is Brittney Griner. The sound is not edited in any way. This is "her" voice. Simple question: Is this a man? pic.twitter.com/MUQvboXXvr — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) February 25, 2024 I know some of you will say "who cares" so I'll address that. I care. I care if someone blatantly lies to the entire country. I care if someone pretends to be a woman so that person can play women's sports and beat up on bio women. I care if that person breaks a law in another country and we have to trade real and dangerous prisoner to get them back (why did we do that again?). So it matters. Truth always matters. And now for those people who will say that video is edited or altered, I'll give you a bunch more all showing that deep, billowy, manly voice: After hearing Brittney Griner speak, there is no doubt in my mind that he is a MAN who joined the WNBA because it is easier, much like Lia Thomas did with swimming. We should have known because he’s the only WNBA player who can dunk a basketball. LISTEN and tell me I’m wrong pic.twitter.com/5BXwxX4lVz — Alexander Sheppard (@NotAlexSheppard) July 28, 2023 But that's not all.... Not only does dude sound like a man, dude also LOOKS like a man and walks around shirtless. I don't care how "flat chested" a lady may be, I've never known an adult women who walks around topless. Have you? Take a look: Why is Brittney Griner shirtless in this video with no bikini top or anything? pic.twitter.com/jqgAf9zlG4 — Alexander Sheppard (@NotAlexSheppard) July 28, 2023 Backup here: I asked Grok if Brittney Griner was a man and Grok said no, but then claimed she was a "lesbian" married twice to women: Hmmmm, what if she's just a man married to a woman? What does Occam's Razor tell us? The simplest answer is usually the right one. So let's apply it here.... The person LOOKS like a man, SOUNDS like a man, and has been married twice to a woman. What is most likely.... Option 1 -- a very strange sounding woman who has no breasts to speak of who is a lesbian married to women. Option 2 -- dude is a dude. What does everyone think? I'm not making any claim, just asking questions and reporting what I see with my eyes and hear with my ears.... This dude Chris May seems to be piecing things together: pic.twitter.com/Vp73iIPARc — Chris May (@Mays_Media1) February 25, 2024
