Description
The Savoyard Style in North Welsh Castles The construction of Edwardian castles in north Wales was shaped by a unique group of artisans from Savoy. This story is one of two men, Master James of St George and Justiciar Sir Othon de Grandson, and their relationship with King Edward I. It's also the tale of many others, including Pierre de Savoie, who arrived in England through his marriage to Henry III's daughter. The Savoyards' impact on English and Welsh history cannot be overstated. Their presence is essential to understanding the development of these castles. A defining work on this subject has been out of print for some time, making it an opportune moment to revisit and expand upon their story in light of new evidence. This book offers a fresh perspective on the Savoyards' role in shaping north Welsh castles.
