ipflo hi
Does some one know where I can find information on the disappeared Château de l'Ombrière, the medieval castle residence of the dukes of Aquitaine and kings of England in Bordeaux, England, which is now disappeared. If I have understood it well, it is from the 13th century, it became the regional parliament in the 15th century and it is destroyed about 1800.
thx in advance
Peter Hi Ipflo,
not found anything yet by that name.
But there is a building (and area) on a map of 1220 called 'Castet de l'Umbreyra', and also on a map of 1450.
Is this an older spelling of the name I wonder ?
The area lay in the centre of the first line of walls facing the wate/river. the second map has a futher line of walls built in front of it.
ipflo To be honest I don't know, it could be, the only name I have is Château/ Palais de l'Ombrière, and that it lies in the southern part of the old city of Bordeaux, on what is now the place de Palais.
Peter Ipflo,
will try and place the area in context with the modern city. But it sounds as though it could be the place.
