Note 149 — PLATE LXIX. CASTLE OF LILLEBONNE.

Reading edition

See Description de la Haute Normandie, I. p. 6, where it is suggested, that the word, L'Ilebonne, may be derived from the two Celtic words, Ile, signifying a current of water, and Bonne, which denotes the termination of any thing. The towns of Bonne, upon the Rhine, and of Libourne, are supposed to have taken their names from these words.
