Download or read book Welsh Castle Builders written by John Marshall and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2022-12-02 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Edwardian castles of north Wales were built by a Savoyard master mason, but also by many other artisans from Savoy. What is more extraordinary, is that the constables of Flint, Rhuddlan, Conwy and Harlech were also Savoyards, the Justiciar and Deputy Justiciar at Caernarfon were Savoyards and the head of the English army leading the relief of the sieges of Flint and Rhuddlan was a future Count of Savoy. The explanatory story is fundamentally of two men, the builder of castles, Master James of St George and Justiciar Sir Othon de Grandson, and the relationship of these two men with King Edward I. But it is also the story of many others, a story that begins with the marriage of Alianor de Provence to Edward’s father, Henry III, and the influx of her kinsmen to England, such as Pierre de Savoie. It is impossible to understand the development of the castles in north Wales without an understanding of the Savoyards, where they came from and their impact on English and Welsh history. The defining work of Arnold Taylor in exploring the Savoyard history of Welsh castles is now many years past, and mostly out of print, it is time for the story to be revisited and expanded upon, in the light of new evidence.

Download or read book The Castle Builders Classic Reprint written by Charles Clark Munn and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Castle Builders A few awe us by their dauntless courage, far vision, primal force, and power of leadership. Men "who blaze their way where never highway ran." Many more charm us by wit, humor, and ability to discover and express the droll side of ordinary events; while still more interest us by simple kindness and everyday honesty. But among all the types I have met and studied, none appeals to me more forcibly than the genial optimist, the man with philosophy enough to see the silver lining back of all clouds, to point it out to us, and convince us that Rainbowville is still on the map of our lives. It is for this reason that I have selected "Uncle Asa" Webster as the leading character in this book, and used a pathetic experience in his life as the basis of the story. I have known him many years, and his unfailing ability to hear larks singing, even in overcast skies, has made him well beloved by all who are favored with his acquaintance. And inasmuch as he has brought a ray of sunshine to me in many a pessimistic mood, so do I hope he may to my readers.

Download or read book The Medieval Castle Manual written by Charles Phillips and published by Haynes Publishing UK. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Haynes Medieval Castle Manual explores the background story to castle construction in Medieval Europe, showing that castles had both a domestic and defensive function. It uses the 'new' medieval castle-building project at Guédelon in Burgundy as the centerpiece for the book, examining the construction and anatomy of these awe-inspiring structures, section by section. Life inside the castle walls is explored, from the perspectives of the lowliest servants to the mighty lords and all those ranks in between. Ordinary daily routines to how a castle’s inhabitants would have been fed and watered and the building itself heated and furnished are also covered. When it came to survival in times of unrest, the castle presented would-be assailants with a formidable array of defensive measures, some of which were truly frightening in their ability to inflict injury and death.
