The Storming of the Bastille - what really happened? | Assassin's Creed Unity EXPLAINED

Assassin's Creed Unity starts by putting players at the heart of the Storming of the Bastille. It is one of the key events of the French Revolution and is known throughout the world. But it is fair to say that the name is better known than the event itself. Was was the Bastille? Why was it so important to the revolutionaries? And what really happened on that legendary day?

Matt Lewis is joined by Professor David Andress from the University of Portsmouth to recount the events of that fateful day, the reasons behind them, and their lasting impact.
