Medieval Knight’s steel bike from Chateau-Gaillard castle
Medieval Knights steel bike from Chateau-Gaillard castle
They say that King Richard himself chose Chateau-Gaillard for construction and actively participated in the development of the project. In 1852, Gaillard castle ruins were declared a historic monument of France. In May 2008, archaeologists from the University of Bristol, doing excavations at the castle Chateau-Gaillard (France), made a sensational discovery. What was the amazement of archaeologists, when carefully managed to clean up the extracted pieces – it was part lain in the ground for almost nine centuries of knightly bike! A bicycle in the twelfth century, hard to believe, but there’s no doubt about the authenticity of burial.
