Impressively illustrated, and drawing on rare first-hand accounts, this book reveals the world of the knight in all its glory.
Produced by Robert Jones, who has been a medieval military historian for more than 20 years, Knight goes behind the myths to reveal the true knight warrior, his equipment, weapons, armour, steed, career path and ‘chivalric code.’ It also investigates the role of the knight in law and justice, and in feudal warfare.
Robert Jones is the author of Brazen Armour And Bloodied Banners: Martial Display On The Medieval Battlefield. He is also a student of the medieval longsword and 16th century rapier (a type of sword).
