Medieval Chivalry

Beschreibung

This study provides a new overview of chivalry, which formed a fundamental element of medieval society. Chivalry shaped elite warrior status and profession, influenced warfare and violence, took on religious piety, and shaped ideas of love and relations between men and women of high status throughout half a millennium of early European history.
