Newcastle or Newercastle?Ajouté :
You might be wondering why Newcastle is called Newcastle. Is because of that behind me. There isn't it? No, not exactly. This is a reconstruction of the original castle. So if anything this city should be called Newer Castle, shouldn't it? The story goes that William the Conqueror had harried the north, but northerners still weren't playing ball. And so where religion had its cathedrals, those mighty intimidating Norman structures, for power and maintaining it by the Normans who came over from what we know now as France, castles.
Although not this one until 100 years or so after the first. And now we have Newcastle's newer castle. Once wooden and now stone, the castle was a message to the Anglo-Saxons. The Normans are here and they're not going anywhere. I think if I were living in a straw hut with the legacy of the Romans, I would feel rather intimidated by the castle like this.
