Légende

Leicester: Castle Gate and St. Mary's Church, 1868. 'That...which gives a prouder boast to Leicester than the visit or the absence of any monarch of olden times is that the walls of the now-demolished castle, of which little more than the picturesque gateway now remains, was long the home of one of England's greatest worthies, Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, to whom we stand indebted for the first representation of the Commons in a Parliament'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
