  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Savoy
The oldest possessions of the line of Savoy were the counties of Maurienne (the upper valley of the River Arc), Savoy (the district between Arc, Isère, and the middle course of the Rhone), and also Belley, with Bugey as its chief town.
Henceforth the history of Savoy is in general the same as that of the Kingdom of Sardinia (q.v.).
During the French Revolution Savoy was occupied by the French, and by the Treaty of Nice in 1796 was surrendered to France together with Nice.

 Edward I's Welsh Castles
Edward's own advance through the North echoing the invasion of 1277 was largely ineffectual, the deciding factor in the War being the Marcher victory at Irfon Bridge where Llywelyn was killed.
Edward wished to attract the settlers, who were so reluctant to come, not only by the privileges they were given, but by the greater sense of security and superiority that was gained through the scale of the fortifications defending their towns.
Edward was a visionary and an idealist who craved to convey an image of an emperor-king, an enlightened ruler bringing not only law to Wales but also castles such as those he had seen crusading in the Holy Land.

 Edward II: May 2006
In the spring of 1317, Edward II paid the enormous expenses of Mary's pilgrimage to Canterbury in the company of her niece Elizabeth de Clare, newly married to Edward's favourite Roger Damory, and Isabel, daughter of Henry of Lancaster and niece of the earl of Lancaster and the younger Despenser.
Edward was six years old when his mother Queen Eleanor died in 1290 (his sisters were twenty-one, eighteen, fifteen, eleven and eight) and he inherited her county of Ponthieu, as her only surviving son.
Edward I brought his orphaned granddaughter Jeanne to live in England, and in May 1306 she was married to John de Warenne, earl of Surrey, although she was only ten or eleven at the time.

 Master James of St George
King Edward of England crushed the Welsh rebellion led by Llewellyn ap Gruffudd and conquered his kingdom of Gwynedd in Northern Wales.
King Edward I was a well travelled man. He had toured his lands in Europe and journeyed to the Holy Land on Crusade.
King Edward visited Savoy in 1271 on his return from the Crusades and it was probably at this time that he met and saw the work of Master James.

 ::Concentric Castles::
Concentric castles, in Britain, are most associated with Edward I and North-West Wales where a series of huge castles were built.
All of Edward's castles were built by the sea which allowed boats as large as 300 tons to get right up to the castles to enable them to be supplied.
It is probable that Edward met Master James as he returned from the Crusades as we know that he stopped off in Savoy and he was also related to the family that ruled Savoy.

 New Georgia Encyclopedia: James Edward Oglethorpe (1696-1785)
The excitement of Europe's defense against the advancing Turks led him to drop out of school to enroll in a military academy in France.
In paying tribute to Oglethorpe, however, Georgians can perhaps best honor his memory by remembering him as a man who wouldn't quit and who lived by the simple but profound philosophy that life is not about self, but about others.

In November 2004, Edward Nesta and I had the extreme pleasure of having lunch at Guy Savoy’s restaurant, aptly named, Guy Savoy, (www.guysavoy.com).
We began with an aperitif of Guy Savoy champagne, which had a luscious pale yellow color with a fine stream of bubbles, with a nose of spring flowers and pears, and was delightful en bouche.
It was the perfect accompaniment to Edward’s pigeon and fois gras with truffles, mache, walnuts, pumpkin puree and parsley puree, and my red snapper which was 2 pan-fried filets with juice and baby eggplant with chive and sage butter, which was paired with a plate of buttery, crisp thinly sliced potatoes.

 Edward German   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Edward German, full name Edward German Jones, studied the organ and violin at the Royal Academy of Music.
The opera had a modest run at the Savoy (205 perfomances from April to November 1901), but the music was critically acclaimed, and German was engaged to compose a work on his own.
A third work was to follow, but A Princess of Kensington (Savoy, January-May 1903) would be met with indifference if not hostility and the Hood-German-Savoy partnership ended.

 The Real Savoy
You meet a woman, things are going fine, but within a couple minutes, her friends pull her away to go get a drink.
Today, few people know what Savoy looks like, so I can put on flip flops, my gym shorts, and an old t-shirt when it's Sunday morning and I just want to go treat myself to Baja Fresh instead of getting ready for the day.
I worry that Rivers and Gates don't seem to have a lot of chemistry (Rivers seems to prefer to find Parker...and I think Parker's injury was what really threw Rivers into a tailspin at the end of the year) so probably it'll take into the second half before they spring him.

 Basil Hood
The younger son of Sir Charles Hood, Basil Hood was educated at Wellington and Sandhurst and joined the army at the age of 19, rising to be a Captain (1893) in the Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire.
The new Savoy pairing continued, and together Hood and German turned out Merrie England and A Princess of Kensington before producer William Greet moved out of the light operatic area, effectively ending what looked like becoming a memorable collaboration.
Hood next set to work on a musical comedy based on Romeo and Juliet, but when producer Charles Frohman started chopping up his work to suit casting considerations he withdrew his name from the libretto of what was produced as The Belle of Mayfair.

 Edward SAVAGE of Beaurepaire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Sir John Savage settled at Beaurepaire and intended that Edward should receive the Hampshire property which came to him as the inheritance of his second wife.
Unfortunately its ownership was contested by Eleanor's relations, and although Edward Savage grew up in possession of Beaurepaire, where he entertained Elizabeth in 1601, he appears to have lost it about 1613 or possibly after the death of his stepmother in 1618.
Savage was returned at Newton through his brother-in-law Thomas Langton, and at Stockbridge through his neighbour William, 3rd Lord Sandys.

 Edward Whymper
He successfully accomplished the ascent in 1861 -- the first of a series of expeditions that threw much light on the topography of a district at that time very imperfectly mapped.
From the summit of Mont Pelvoux he discovered that it was overtopped by a neighboring peak, subsequently named the Pointe des Écrins, which, before the annexation of Savoy added Mont Blanc to the possessions of France, was the highest point in the French Alps.
Its ascent by Whymper's party in 1864 was perhaps the most remarkable feat of mountaineering up to that date.
