POISSON, Jean-Michel  and  DORSO, Simon. Excavation reveals a pre-Castle settlement. Medievalista [online]. 2023, n.33, pp.81-96.  Epub Jan 31, 2023. ISSN 1646-740X.  https://doi.org/10.4000/medievalista.6258.

In the inner courtyard of Belvoir Castle, the excavation uncovered structures that predate the monumental building. It is a stone house with two rooms fitted with benches and a paved floor. This primitive building can be compared to the remains of the rural settlement sold by the Frank Ives Velos to the Hospitallers in 1168.

Keywords : Belvoir; castle; frankish; settlement.
