Description: Ruins of Les Quatre Fils (castle of Aigremont)
Aymon Belgium.
The castle of Aigremont is located halfway between Liège and Huy. Legend has it that the castle was built by the four Aymon sons. The chanson de geste Les Quatre Fils Aymon, aka Renaud de Montauban, written at the end of the twelfth century, tells the story of four vassals of Charlemagne who rebelled against the emperor. The central chapters of the highly complicated story take place in the Ardennes forest, where the Aymons fight against a knight named Beuve d'Aigremont
