| Synopsis: |
The knight is an icon of the medieval world, standing high in the stirrups, decked in shining armour. He represents all that is both right and wrong about the violent, primitive society that he lived in. Although every male from the military aristocracy received a training in war, not all took up knighthood. This book shows that to be a knight was to take on an important role in a vibrant society, as represented in arms, armour, heraldry and the appreciation of religion, art, music, courtly love, culture and horses. Whether the mythical Roland or the real Richard the Lionheart, the knight lives on in our imagination and history. |
