Book Synopsis English Medieval Knight 1400–1500 by : Christopher Gravett
Download or read book English Medieval Knight 1400–1500 written by Christopher Gravett. This book was released on 2001-08-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 15th century was a time of change for knighthood. Knights no longer fought for their lords in return for land, since the feudal summons had long before given way to a system of contracts. Moreover, many knights now preferred the role of landowner, man-about-town or parliamentary representative. However, this was also the age of the knight in plate armour, of the battle of Agincourt and the conquests of Henry V, and of the Wars of the Roses, the bloody internecine struggle that tore medieval England apart. In this title Christopher Gravett describes the life of a 15th century knight, his equipment and experiences from his earliest days as a squire through to his experiences on the battlefields of England and France.
