About the book

Chivalry explores the ideals, practices and historical reality of medieval knighthood. The book examines warfare, honour, courtly behaviour, tournaments and the relationship between knights, religion and aristocratic society. It distinguishes the romantic ideal of the chivalric knight from the more complicated realities of medieval violence and politics.
