Claim: James of Saint George, a master of works/architect from Savoy, and described by historian Marc Morris as "one of the greatest architects of the European Middle Ages", acquired the "Saint George" name from his parents; also, his patron, King Edward I, probably met Master James of St. George whilst returning from Crusade in 1290.
Evidence: His name "Saint George", acquired following his move to England, is believed to be a reference to the castle of Saint-Georges-d'Espéranche, located southeast of Lyon in the Viennois.
