Summary:
Few historical periods have captured the imagination more than the
Middle Ages. And few images from that period are more emblematic than
the "noble knight" charging in full armor astride his mighty warhorse
while in times of peace riding throughout villages dispensing justice
with great nobility. But to what degree is this Hollywood image a
fair and accurate portrait of a knight's working life? Over the years
much fantasy has prevailed in place of accuracy. This book returns to
original medieval documents and respected contemporary historians in
pursuit of the true story of the working life of the medieval knight.
