Ensign An ensign is a national flag when used at sea , in vexillology , or a distinguishing token , emblem , or badge , such as a symbol of office in heraldry . The word has also given rise to the military rank of " ensign " , a rank of junior officer once responsible for bearing the ensign . National ensigns . In nautical use , the ensign is flown at the stern of a ship or boat to indicate its nationality . Ensigns are usually flown from the stern flagpole of a ship , and may be shifted to a gaff ( provided the ship is so equipped ) when the ship is under way , where the ensign is known as a " steaming ensign " . Vexillologists distinguish three varieties of a national flag when used as an ensign : Many countries do not distinguish between these uses , and employ only one national flag and ensign in all cases . Others ( like the United Kingdom , Italy , Russia , South Africa , Australia , New Zealand , and Japan ) use different ensigns . Such ensigns are strictly regulated and indicate if the boat is a warship , a merchant vessel or a yacht , for example . If a warship goes into battle , large versions of naval ensigns ( called battle ensign s ) are used . Several Commonwealth countries ' national flags had their origin in the ensigns of their original colonising power , the United Kingdom . Most notable of these national flags are those of Australia , New Zealand , and several smaller island nations , though it is also very likely that the original design from which the flag of the United States developed was strongly influenced by the British Red Ensign or the flag of the ( British controlled ) East India Company . In countries such as Australia and New Zealand which have national flags based on the design of British ensigns , the national flag is often ( erroneously ) referred to as the national ensign . Heraldic ensigns . In heraldry , an ensign is the ornament or sign , such as the crown , coronet , or mitre , borne above the charge or arms . Air ensigns . With the creation of independent air forces and the growth in civil aviation in the first half of the 20th century , a range of distinguishing flags and ensigns were adopted . Such ensigns may be divided into air force ensigns ( such as the Royal Air Force Ensign ) and civil air ensigns . Air ensigns are often light blue in colour .
Newcastle Castle , Bridgend Newcastle Castle , is a medieval castle located on Newcastle Hill , overlooking the town centre of Bridgend in Glamorgan , South Wales . It was originally believed to date from 1106 when a ringwork was created at the site by the Norman baron , Robert Fitzhamon . Today it is ruinous . History . Newcastle Castle was initially constructed as a ringwork 1106 by William de Londres , one of the legendary Twelve Knights of Glamorgan , as part of the Norman invasion of Wales . William de Londres was a knight loyal to the Norman baron Robert Fitzhamon and the Newcastle defences marked the most western extent of Fitzhamon ' s lordship . It is one of three castles built by the Normans in the area at the time , the others being Coity Castle and Ogmore Castle . The defences were strengthened either by William Fitz Robert , 2nd Earl of Gloucester , shortly before his death in 1183 or by Henry II who took over the lordship of Glamorgan on William ' s death . The additional works saw the construction of a 2m thick curtain wall which surrounded a courtyard which was 40m in length . The main reason behind these new defences was believed to be a response to the uprising in Glamorgan led by the Welsh Lord of Afon , Morgan ap Caradog . Henry died in 1189 and the ownership of Newcastle fell to Prince John , who that year handed the castle to Morgan ap Caradog . When Morgan died c1208 , he was succeeded by his son Lleison . On Lleison ' s death , thought to be around 1214 , the castle came into the ownership of Isabel , Countess of Gloucester , the first wife of King John . In 1217 the ownership changed again , staying briefly with the Anglo - Norman baron Gilbert Fitz Richard , who in the same year handed the castle over to Gilbert de Turberville . The castle passed through three families . The three families being the Turberville family , the Berkerolle family and also the Gamage family . It was bought by Samuel Edwin of Llanmihangel Place and later became part of Dunraven Estate .
