Autorenporträt
Charles Mills (circa late 18th to early 19th century), a distinguished English historian and essayist, was chiefly known for his captivating works on the Middle Ages, focusing in particular on the institution of chivalry. His seminal work, 'The History of Chivalry,' offers a thorough exploration of medieval knighthood, its principles, codes, and the impact it had on the society of the time. Mills diligently traced the evolution and practices of chivalric conduct, examining its role not just in warfare but also in shaping the cultural and moral framework of European civilization. In 'The History of Chivalry,' Mills combines a narrative style, rich in detail, with scholarly analysis, making it both an engaging read and a staple reference for students of medieval history and literature. His literary approach weaves together historical accounts with the chivalric ideals embodied in the legends and romances of the medieval period, revealing how such narratives influenced and possibly idealized the real customs of knights. Despite the wealth of research underpinning Mills' work, little is widely known about his personal life, thus leaving his own history somewhat overshadowed by the weighty contributions he made to our understanding of chivalric history.
