Knight and Chivalry

Rating:
Summary: A must-have!
Review: This wonderful book should be on the syllabus of every course in medieval history. Richard Barber is one of the finest authors of popular history books who has ever tackled the complicated topic of the Middle Ages. His works are stellar, and this book is one of his best. In this text Barber examines the knight as he appeared in literature and compares that image to what the knight truly was in history. A masterful work!
