Jersey’s Royal Charters
A banner exhibition in Mont Orgueil Castle's Undercroft tracing the royal charters granted to Jersey from Edward III onwards and the island's bond with the Crown.
The 'Jersey Royal Charters' banner exhibition is in residence in the Undercroft at Mont Orgueil Castle. The castle's ancient links with the Crown make it a fitting site to explore the history of the charters granted to the island from Edward III onwards.
Many of the Royal Charters before Elizabeth I's reign mention the Castle, reflecting its military and strategic importance to the English monarch.
Elizabeth I, of course, favoured the new castle named for her in St Aubin's Bay (Elizabeth Castle). Following her reign, mention of Mont Orgueil ceased, although the charters continued to reinforce Jersey's special relationship with the Crown.
