In End of Empire Presenter David Adams crosses Europe and Asia as he investigates the warrior kings who created vast empires only for their families to later dismember the empire as they fight over the spoils. In a real “Game of Thrones” the dysfunctional families of Attila the Hun; Timur (Tamerlane the Great); Edgar, King of the English and Charlemagne manage to lose it all. CSI meets history as we analyse key events using forensic analysis and illustrate each story via drones and striking CGI images in a unique “virtual room”. We investigate the mystery of who murdered Edgar’s eldest son, the rightful King of England? How could a brilliant strategist like Tamerlane destroy cities, building towers of skulls of slain enemies, but not leave behind a proper succession plan? In telling the course of his travels through Europe and Asia David takes the audience from the magnificent mosques of legendary Samarkand to archaeological digs at medieval English castles, the ancient walls of Constantinople and joins in a traditional horseback buzkashi tournament in Uzbekistan.
