Author	Topic: Need help to identify fortified city
AJR Senior Member	posted 05-01-2008 11:45 AM A strange one from me, but I could do with some help nonetheless. Could anyone tell me the location of the fortification shown in the following weblink? http://www.castleduncan.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2228 Thanks
ipflo Moderator	posted 05-08-2008 03:09 PM hmm due to the flag on the building (the cross of saint Patrick) I would assume it is somewhere in Ireland. I will have a look in my books once I have found the books, as on the moment my Irish books are lost in all the other books. Also I wanted to write it at duncans forum, however, mine account just got disabled, lucky me ;(

Could not find the Irish books, but then remembered that Jersey has the same flag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Jersey I liked the following story 'Among the legends are a story that a mistranslation from Dutch of the word Erse ("Irish") in a Dutch chart endowed Ierse (Jersey) with a cross of St. Patrick by mistake. ' Or did I remember the castle first: Mont Orgueil Castle All the pictures I find are from land, and the building has changed a little bit (some of the homes are destroyed), but this should be the castle http://www.jeron.je/thatwasjersey/castlefiles/AH013big.jpg http://www3.sympatico.ca/locsound/champart/ http://www.cipostcard.co.nz/jersey/orgueil.htm http://www.jamd.com/search?assettype=g&...+Orgueil+Castle <--- flag still on top http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...r%2C_Jersey.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...m_the_south.jpg ipflo
