The Book of the Medieval Knight is a large soft cover book consisting of 188 pages. This book contains a large amount of photos along with some well-done pictures and paintings. It is made up of 12 chapters, each made up of about 4-5 subchapters and covers the period called the High Middle Ages (which consists of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries)

If you are looks for info on knights from countries such as Italy or Russia do not look here. The Book of the Medieval Knight only focuses on knights from England and to some extent France. It does quite a good job, providing all the info one could want on the leaders and ideas that made up the knightly way of life. It provides good accounts of battles that made up the War of the Roses, England’s various wars with Scotland, Henry V and his attempt to seize the French crown among others. This book carries much more information than its 188 pages would lead you to believe and if you’re interested in the period, a good addition to any library
