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.| SKU | Non disponible |
