For honour and fame : chivalry in England, 1066-1500
Saul, Nigel2011
Book
The world of medieval chivalry is at once glamorous and violent, our popular views of the period being largely inherited from the 19th-century romantics. Examining the reality of the period, this book charts the introduction of chivalry by the Normans and the rise of the knightly class as a social elite.
