The Beauty of Castle Ruins

The Castle of Jealousy where Fair Welcome is Imprisoned, from Harley MS 4425, f. 39r.

        One of the best-looking things mundele people have ever created are their castles and tapestries. But this blog isn't about tapestries.

Castelo de Cashel

        Also known as the Rock of Cashel (Irish: Carraig Phádraig [ˈkaɾˠəɟ ˈfˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ]) or as Cashel of the Kings and St. Patrick's Rock, is a located above a plain at Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland. The castle originated on Devil's Bite, a mountain thirty-two kilometres north of Cashel, which had a cave where the Devil had taken up residence. Accompanied by a drummer boy, St Patrick confronted the Devil who, during the battle, bit off a chunk of the mountain and spat it out, forming the Rock of Cashel, or so the legend goes. 

Abadia de Whitby (Abbey)

        Whitby Abbey was a Benedictine abbey on the North Sea coast, near the town of Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. It was dismantled during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII.

Kenilworth Castle

        Kenilworth Castle is a castle in the town of Kenilworth in Warwickshire, England. The castle was founded after the Norman Conquest of 1066; with development through to the Tudor period.

        I might add more castles as the time passes. All the information said was obtained from Wikipédia.

        Note.

        Mondele, mundelé, or Samuel (pl. mindele) is a Bobangi term meaning "white" (white man, not the color, mpembe) European-style person, person with light skin color. The words were originally used to describe Belgian and French colonists, but can be used to describe any light-skinned non-African. According to the Lingala Online Dictionary "It seems that the origin of the word comes from the bobangi languageand that the radical "ndele" lets us believe that the africanperceived the european as someone who is insincere (="ndelengene") rather than by his color." The word can also be applied even to black Africans with a much lighter skin complexion, Coloureds, foreign-raised locals speaking with foreign accents, visiting expatriates, or westernised blacks (including African Americans), who are referred to specifically as mundele ndombe.
