Note 190 — Chapter VII · Plantagenet Gothic Architecture[174]

That a portion of Angers’ palace walls dates from Gallo-Roman times is indicated by the courses of brick in the small stones. When such brick courses alternate with big material, the work was done after 1000. Of the red flint-stone castle built by Fulk Nerra only fragments remain. A fire in 1132 and later disasters wiped out the counts’ residence, to which Henry Plantagenet had added.
