This is the behind-the-scenes story of what the life of a knight was really like.The book shows full suits of armour some elaborately decorated and the weapons used by knights including swords flanged maces and lances. Discover what life in a castle was like during peacetime and how the invention of firearms signalled the eventual decline of chivalry and the replacement of knights with professional soldiers.Featuring many items from the fantastic Wallace Collection in London Knight is a unique and absorbing introduction to every aspect of knightly life and behaviour in war and peace.
