Chapeau. Formidable. On en peut beaucoup apprendre. 500 ans. A vrai dire, c'est peu pour bâtir tant de merveilles. Je pensais que les chateaux - fortresses existaient depuis les temps des romans ou des grandes migrations du nord et du lest. Beaucoup serait perdu, mais grâce à Viollet-le-Duc, il ne faut pas rester dans l'effort de l'imagination. Domage que l'enorme église de Cluny en Bourgogne n'ait pas été restaurée jusqu'à nos jours.

Try to imagine just how utterly amazing these Castles looked back in the time they were first created... I mean even today many hundreds of years later they still look quite impressive. Incredible think what mankind was capable of so long ago. Surely I'm not the only person to fantasy about being able to go back in time (temporarily of course...) just to experience the reality the people of different time periods experienced. These Historians do a greet job at deciphering what life was like however.

I have always been in aww at the beauty and granger of the castle. As a craftsman of stained glass the beauty and splendor of the windows is my greatest fascination. i have made many windows, lamps and have been commissioned to build pieces. But in my mind i can never reach the heights of the masters of crafts of old. I have even reproduced Tiffany pieces. but i am still in aww at the beauty of the castle and church works.

When they say "France and England" they mean the two French families who were at the helm of these two Kingdoms, the Valois (King of France) and the Plantagenet (King of England). The Plantagenet originate from the city of Angers in France. Richard Coeur de Lion was only known as "Lionheart" by the French following the Crusades and his alliance to the Valois against his father. Although born in England, he only spoke French just like his father and brothers and is buried in the land of his ancestors. So it was very much an all French affair because when the Valois lineage ran short of male heirs, the Plantagenet was the closest lineage and legitimate heirs to the throne of France. Hence the war between the two. The writer of Games of Throne actually pointed that his main Historical inspiration was the feud between the Valois and Plantagenet.

I remember a few years ago I met an American on the beach at Bamburgh in Northumberland (England) and he was in complete awe at the castle rising out of the dunes. Literally he was awestruck - virtually speechless - as he must have walked the beach and wasn’t prepared for this massive imposing castle to appear. It sort of hit home to me that as a native to these parts I have always taken the numerous castles up here for granted. They are just there. Made me appreciate them a bit more when you realise not everyone has them on their doorstep. My favourite up here is Dunstanburgh - total wreck but a great coastal walk to reach it. Need to use your imagination as to how it originally looked but that is half the fun. The intact ones just don’t do it for me. I like the ones that have seen a bit of ‘action’.
