Descripción
Refers to a distinctive style of architecture that developed in the mid-13th century under the Plantagenet English kings' rule in the Loire Valley. The style is notable for remaining outside the mainstream of French stylistic development. It is characterized by some retention of the earlier local Romanesque idioms, evident in ecclesiastical buildings by the extremely curved, dome-shaped cross-ribbed vaults, numerous round arches, powerful, though slender, piers, and often the incorporation of three naves of approximately equal height and width.
