Sample Chapter:

Knights in Shining and Sometimes Smelly Armor

Clank. Clank. Clank. That is the voice of a knight approaching the courtyard. All the steps sound like a drumbeat, since he is, in effect, wearing a metal closet on his legs. Children creep near, with their eyes unblinking, when the knight drops his helmet visor with a shush! And he appears a thousand times more evil.

However, the key is that knights were not necessarily bright and shining. Arguor got hot, heavy, and smelly. Consider the challenge of walking around with 50 pounds of metal in the heat and sweat, all while lacking deodorant. Ew. Beneath the armor, knights were clothed in padded fabric known as a gambeson--a quilted jacket that absorbed the sweat. Yikes.

And let's talk about weapons. Knights carried swords, axes, and maces, and they had shields with cool designs known as coats of arms. Those were not mere designs made only to be stylish; they indicated who the knight was fighting on behalf of. Think about a huge capture the flag game, except there are no flags; players have massive shields with lions, dragons, or elaborate designs on them.
