Knight
The Medieval Warrior's (Unofficial) Manual
This carefully researched yet entertaining book provides all the essential information you need to become a successful knight in the later Middle Ages, during the period of the Hundred Years' War. Should you go on a Crusade? Which order of chivalry might you consider joining? What is required when you go through the ceremony of knighthood?
Here are the answers to these and many more questions plus practical advice on topics such as equipment, fighting methods, and the conventions of warfare. But the knightly life is not all battles and sieges: there are also tournaments and jousts to enjoy and the world of courtly love.
Based on contemporary lives and descriptions, this book--written by a leading medieval historian--paints a vivid picture of what it was like to be a medieval knight.
