Guernsey Kestrel
Where Is Guernsey
Where and what is Guernsey? A surprising number even of British people don't know a lot about The Channel Islands, or Guernsey in particular. Less surprisingly many non-British people don't know where to find it on a map, and know even less about it. The present situation, (see map text), dates back to 1215, when King John of England, (who was also Duke of Normandy), lost Normandy to Philip II of France. The Islands stayed loyal to John, though it led to centuries of bloody conflict.
