Flint Castle (Welsh: Castell y Fflint) located in Flint, Flintshire, was the first of a series of castles built during King Edward I's campaign to conquer Wales.
The site was chosen for its strategic position in North East Wales. The castle was only one day's march from Chester, supplies could be brought along the River Dee and there was by a ford across to England that could be used at low tide.

South Saginaw Street in the center of Flint, Michigan - we visited this rather poor city because I was reading Michael Moore books at the time, who was originally from this car manufacturing town, in steady decline for the last decades. We exited the highway on Friday afternoon before the long weekend in June 2006, and made a few turns in the downtown, finally stopping at a playground so that the kids could get out of the car. The whole town showed signs of urban decay as we expected, nevertheless had a distinct American character which I always liked.
Flint belvárosa Michigan államban, 2006. június. A hosszú hétvége előtti péntek este érkeztünk ide, autós kirándulásunk első napján, elsősorban azért térve le az autópályáról, mert akkoriban Michael Moore-könyveket olvastam, aki innen származott. A város az amerikai autógyártás egyik központja volt régebben, de a cégekkel együtt a városnak is leáldozott már évtizedekkel ezelőtt, és azóta mindenütt a pusztulás jeleit mutatja. Jellegzetes amerikai kisváros, amik viszont mindig is nagyon tetszettek nekem.
Flint Castle, located in Flint, Flintshire, Wales was the first of a series of castles built during King Edward I's campaign to conquer Wales.
Situated over a harbour on the River Dee estuary, construction began in 1277 and continued for nine years. The castle is believed to have been based on French (or Savoyard) contemporary models, with one of the corner towers enlarged and isolated, made to serve as keep (e.g. Dourdan). The keep itself is of a unique plan to the British Isles, with the only close parallel to be found at Aigues-Mortes, France, which King Edward I, may have been familiar with. This plan, with the isolated keep was not repeated in the other castles of Edward I (see Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd).
In 1399 Richard II of England was captured and held there before being returned to London. The castle was occupied many times during the English Civil War and it has also been used as a quarry.
In 1838 J. M. W. Turner painted a watercolor of the castle.

The obverse side. One can now tell that it had been worked into some kind of tool. It was broken off about one inch from the bottom. Possibly a knife or scraper, or perhaps a "blank" that would have been shaped into a projectile point later.

Flint is the gentlest soul, and would fit great in a house with an older adult. He has very soft fur, and loves to cuddle - he’s like a teddy bear. This doesn’t mean he isn’t playful and curious - he does everything other kittens do, he is just a little less intense about it. Flint enjoys toys on a string and watching fish.
