Jamesâs work on castles in the medieval duchy of Savoy is revisited, as are the native and foreign influences on the design of those he built for Edward I.Some seventy years after A.J.

He maintains a keen interest in the process of medieval building design and construction. His previous books include Medieval Masons, John Lewyn of Durham, How to Build a Cathedral, How to Read Castles and Castle Builders. 150 colour and b/w illustrations A major architectural assessment of the Edwardian castle in Wales.
