 Chivalry

Chivalry, written by renowned historian Maurice Keen, is an exceptional exploration of the concept of chivalry and its profound impact on medieval society. In this meticulously researched and masterfully written book, Keen delves into the origins, evolution, and ultimate demise of chivalry, providing readers with a captivating journey through the medieval world.

Keen begins by unraveling the roots of chivalry, tracing its beginnings to the military aristocracy of the early Middle Ages. He vividly depicts the brutal nature of warfare during this period, where knights were expected to display not only martial prowess but also a code of conduct that emphasized honor, loyalty, and courtesy. As the book unfolds, Keen reveals how these principles gradually transformed into the chivalric ideal, shaping the behavior and aspirations of knights across Europe.

The author skillfully examines the various components of chivalry, dissecting its moral, social, and cultural dimensions. Keen explores the knightly virtues of courage, justice, and mercy, highlighting the tension between the idealized image of the chivalrous knight and the harsh realities of medieval life.
