Abstract

This dictionary gives a picture of the medieval knight and the things that occupied his life and thought: his education and training; his armour, weapons and equipment; his horses and their accoutrements; the stories he heard and read; the captains he followed and the men he led; the complex code he was sworn to; the enterprises in which he was engaged; and the cathedrals, abbeys and churches where memorials of chivalry survive.
There are over 1000 entries, with many extracts from literature and early chronicles, as well as illustrations on every page.
