Fix this textPART of the fortifications of the Castle of Mont Orgueil are reputed to
Fix this textdate from the time of Cassar’s invasion of Gaul, and the islanders still
Fix this texthold it famous in their folklore. In 1374, when Jersey was invaded by an
Fix this textarmy under the celebrated Constable du Guesclin from Bretagne, the principal
Fix this textinhabitants of the island retired to this castle for safety; the siege lasted
Fix this textseveral months until the French forces retired in despair of capturing it.
Fix this textIn 1461, Nanfant, the Governor, a dependent of Henry VI, /was prevailed
Fix this textupon, by an order of Queen Margaret, to surrender it to a Frenchman,
Fix this textPeter de Breze. Although he kept possession of it for several years the
Fix this textnatives, under the command of, Philip de Carteret, a family long illustrious
Fix this textin the Jersey annals, prevented him from completely subjugating the island.
Fix this textSir Richard Harliston, vice-admiral of England, afterwards recaptured Mont
Fix this textOrgueil and put an end to de Breze’s usurpation.
Fix this textThe fortifications rise tier upon tier to the summit of the headland.
Fix this textA small circular apartment at the summit of the castle was the habitation
Fix this textof Charles (1660-1685). This Prince, when his unfortunate father fell into the
Fix this texthands of the regicidal party, found a loyal welcome in Jersey. Here he was
Fix this textrecognised as King, when in England they sought his blood. During his
Fix this textlonely sojourn in this remote part of his hereditary dominions, he is said to
Fix this texthave employed his time by making a survey and delineating a map of the
Fix this textisland. The inhabitants, justly proud of eight centuries of unblemished loyalty
Fix this textto the throne of Great Britain, still refer to his residence as a memorable
Fix this textevent, and in no other part of the British dominions is the memory of the
Fix this text“Merry Monarch” more respected.
Fix this textDuring the war of 1914-18 a strong garrison constantly occupied the
Fix this textCastle of Mont Orgueil.
Fix this textThe present inhabitants of the island are recognised as being the lineal
Fix this textdescendants of the warlike Normans who established themselves in the North
