| Camber Castle | It first existed as a single tower built in 1512 but was later expanded to become a highly symmetrical artillery fort. This work began in 1539 when it was augmented with four outer towers linked by a octagonal wall concealing a covered passage. Finally, four large D-shaped bastions serving as gun platforms were placed in front of the earlier towers. As the shoreline receded south the height of the central tower was raised in order to maintain the range of the castle's cannon. (references) | ||
| Camber of Culdi | Camber of Culdi, aka Saint Camber, is a prominent and important character in the fictional Deryni novels, written by Katherine Kurtz. He is one of the most powerful and accomplished members of the psychic race of humans known as the Deryni. The books take place in the fictional kingdom of Gwynedd. In the stories, in the year 903, as Earl Camber MacRorie of Culdi, he was instrumental in overthrowing the tyrant King Imre of Festil, restoring the normal human house of Haldane to the throne that had been usurped from them almost a century before. For his role in the Restoration, as well as numerous miracles attributed to him after his apparent death in 905, he was made a saint by the Catholic church of this fictional world, and named Patron Saint of Deryni Magic and Defender of Mankind. However, in the backlash against the Deryni that followed shortly after his (true) death in 918, his sainthood was rescinded, and his name was rarely spoken above a whisper for over two hundred years.
