Richard Barber's classic account of the medieval world shows how chivalry affected or was affected by social movements, writers and major events, and analyses its legacy for later ages. Beginning with the knight and warfare, Barber examines chivalry in relation to literature, Arthurian legend and religion, and ends by discussing the medieval knight's transition to Renaissance gentleman.
