Welsh Castle Builders: The Savoyard Style

Description

Mae’n amhosibl deall datblygiad cestyll yng ngogledd Cymru heb ddeall arddull arbennig adeiladwyr Savoy o ddwyrain Ffrainc, o ble y daethant a beth oedd eu dylanwad ar hanes Lloegr a Chymru. Mae cyfrol flaengar Arnold Taylor yn archwilio cyfraniad adeiladwyr Savoy i hanes cestyll Cymru.
It is impossible to understand the development of 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.
