Description
Medieval Chivalry explores the complex and multifaceted nature of chivalry during the medieval period. Richard Kaeuper examines how this idealised code of conduct made sense of violence and war, and how it shaped the lives of elite warriors.
The book delves into the ways in which chivalry influenced status, profession, piety, and relationships, highlighting its regional and chronological variations. Kaeuper draws on a range of evidence, including literature, manuscript illumination, and sermon exempla, to provide a comprehensive analysis of this pivotal aspect of medieval society.
Through his examination of the role of chivalry in shaping medieval culture, Kaeuper sheds new light on the intricate relationships between kingship, church authority, and the rise of knighthood. This major new overview is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of medieval history.
