Interesting post about Saint David Fort

Here is an interesting post I came across.The following message is actually a post from http://flatgirl.blogspot.com

Saint David Fort

British stronghold near the town of Cuddalore, about 100 miles (160 km) south of Madras on the southeastern coast of India. The fort was sold by the Marathas to the English East India Company in 1690. It was named for the patron saint of Wales because the governor of Madras at the time, Elihu Yale, was Welsh. It was purchased because of increasing political instability in southern India.
