A first castle was founded for a lord named Tancredi who gave his name to the castle fort built on a spur overlooking the Seine to Raoul de Tancarville, Chamberlain of William the Conqueror in the 11th century.
(Des Forts, Philippe - Ministère de la Culture France)
Tancreds' son Rabel I, left his name to Rabel's Isle and Rabel's foss, mentioned in early records.* The plot plan below is shown in the reverse of the above picture... The Fossé can be seen below, just to the right of the structure, and so it would be located "behind" the castle above.
