A magisterial history of the origins, reality, and legend of the knight "A carefully researched, concise, readable, and entertaining account of an institution that remains a part of the Western imagination." -- Los Angeles Times Born out of the chaos of the early Middle Ages, the armored and highly mobile knight revolutionized warfare and quickly became a mythic figure in history.
