According to the scholars, Château-Gaillard is regarded as perfect in terms of a medieval fortification. Erected on Richard The Lion Heart's order in 1197 to protect Rouen and Normandy from the French ambitions; his "one year old daughter" will fall into Philip Augustus' hands in 1204. The siege is marked by "The Useless" episode illustrated by the painter Tattegrain. Used as a prison for Marguerite de Bourgogne, then as a place of exile for Bruce, king of Scotland, the stronghold will be dismantled under Henri IV's reign in order to be used as a quarry for different religious orders. Château-Gaillard has been listed as Historical Monument in 1862 and later among The Great national Sites in France. It is now a Natura 2000 protected area.
