In 1483, Philippe de Carteret was possibly granted a Royal licence to crenellate (St Ouen's Manor, Jersey)

There is insufficient evidence to be certain about this possible licence to crenellate. (Some licences may be lost from record and others may have wrongly presumed to have been granted or may be total inventions.)

Comments

Rebuilt by Philippe de Carteret in 1483. Salter writes he was granted a licence to crenellate, presumably at this date, but Salter source is not cited. Philippe de Carteret was the chief local supporter of Edward IV during his reoccupation of the island from the French. The fief of St Ouen's, the leading fief in Jersey, had belonged to the de Carteret family since time immemorial

Significant later sources are;
