Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins and evolution of chivalry, a fascinating historical phenomenon that shaped the face of Europe for centuries.

The author traces the development of chivalry from its roots in the martial customs of the ancient Germanic tribes to its full flower in the High Middle Ages, exploring its profound impact on warfare, literature, and the role of women in society. The book also discusses chivalry's decline and eventual demise, shedding light on the factors that contributed to its fading influence.
