The myth, legends and reality of knights. Knights were the professional warriors of the Middle Ages. From the 11th century to the early 16th century, these highly trained elite warriors dominated the battlefields with their lances, swords and axes. But the knights were more than just fighting machines: according to the knightly code of honour, they were expected to be able to make music and write verses, administer justice, serve their lord and protect the people. This book tells of their battles, victories, defeats and everyday knightly life. It takes the reader back to a fascinating era in European history.
