This fascinating book offers a unique insight into every element of the knight's life against the backdrop of a violent and turbulent world, in which war and battle were not only part of the political process, but also inspired the entertainment extravaganza of the tournament. The world of the medieval knights is brought to life in over 400 fine-art images that richly illustrate the castles, quests, battles, tournaments, courts, honours and triumphs of these mounted warriors.
