Opis

The spirit of chivalry entered into all aspects of the Middle Ages. The rules of chivalry are now very remote from our lives. Using contemporary writing, the author attributes the unity and universality of the movement. The work illustrates and shows us a society that was once Europe-wide and now gone.
