Hi. There is a confusion. The castle in Le Piège diabolique of the Blake and Mortimer series is La Roche-Guyon, not Chateau-Gaillard. M-le-mot-dit 17:41, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Quote: "Château-Gaillard was dismantled 400 years later under Henry IV of France." The 400 figure is confusing. Does it mean 400 years after the castle was built (possible) or 400 years after the previous date, 1346 (impossible), or is 400 a typo? I'm guessing the first, it which case a simple clarification is needed, but don't want to change it just in case I'm wrong. Emeraude 11:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
What gives? This is one of the most significant buildings of the middle-ages. CJ DUB 23:25, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I've been able to expand the article more than I anticipated (I was just doing it as a primer for something else), and think it may as well go to WP:FAC. I'll list it soon, perhaps tomorrow or the in the next couple of days, but I would like the opinion of other people who've edited the article, particularly if they can speak French. Are there any gaps here that are covered in the French version? Nev1 ( talk) 03:24, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Any reason why you deleted a link to an adventure game Chateau Gaillard. I realise it is only a game but it was connected with Chateau Gaillard (at least the inspiration for the game was). Who knows, somebody playing it may be inspired to visit the real Chateau Gaillard. It's a bit pedantic if you ask me (but I not going to pursue it) :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbucket14 ( talk • contribs) 20:07, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
If anyone plays the game and is inspired to visit Château Gaillard that's fine, but the existence of a link here is not going to facilitate that, is it? Emeraude ( talk) 08:54, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
My source says 8 May 1197. You can handle it any way you like, it doesn't matter to me.-- Doug Coldwell ( talk) 18:07, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
According to my source on page 261 Dover Castle was constructed 1179-1191. -- Doug Coldwell ( talk) 18:43, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
The so-called encyclopedia that anyone can edit really is the encyclopedia anyone can edit.
So according to the petty/potty princes who lord it over this page (in total violation of WP:OWN but now is not the time to bring that up) think the best translation of the Château Gaillard is to says it's the "Strong and saucy Castle".
Haha are you kidding me!?
Even the most cursory search reveals that: only about 641 results for Strong and Saucy. And most of them are forks from this page onto other quasi-wiki sites.
Whereas there are 8,310 results for the name that's in the guide book: Castle of Impudence.
To write an encyclopedia requires understanding of the subject not the ability to crib/steal/plagiarise facts from published works. But showing understanding of the subject is an affront to WP:OR, hence the "most highly regarded editors" on this site are those with the brains of a donkey ass. 86.182.41.178 ( talk) 11:27, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Might I suggest that the 'sauces' that give the translation of gaillard as 'saucy' don't speak very good French? It's more like 'robust' or 'hearty'. I've changed it to 'hearty' as I think that's the closest one word translation you're going to get. It's pretty close. Saucy really is completely wrong, no matter if other sources have translated it as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.71.48.172 ( talk) 17:12, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
