Produktbeschreibung

It is the purpose of the author of this work to consider the principles of chivalry and to describe the chivalric feeling which has emanated from the Middle Ages and to trace its operations on the mind and actions of mankind. The manners and ideas explained here may appear odd to us now, but they were very real to the medieval people of the time they represent.
