Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Seven Champions of Christendom: A Legendary Romance of Chivalry The form of chivalry was martial, but its objects were both religious and social. It was the knights who made the crusades glorious and hastened the dawn of our own age, for they were free agents and, in the later develop ment of knight-errantry, were the means of putting down the misrule of feudal times. Until the discipline of laws had trained the world to order, force was the only measure of power; so the great principle of chivalry, the proteo tion of the oppressed, made knights the champions of women, of the poor, and of the Church. Absolute fidelity to a promise was a conspicuous knightly virtue, and no one could tourney who had not kept his oath in every particular. Honor was the quest of the true knight, so when he was not fighting in his country's wars, or errant in search of adventures, he fought amongst the chivalry of foreign princes.

Download or read book A Knight s Own Book of Chivalry written by Geoffroi de Charny and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the great influence of a valiant lord: "The companions, who see that good warriors are honored by the great lords for their prowess, become more determined to attain this level of prowess." On the lady who sees her knight honored: "All of this makes the noble lady rejoice greatly within herself at the fact that she has set her mind and heart on loving and helping to make such a good knight or good man-at-arms." On the worthiest amusements: "The best pastime of all is to be often in good company, far from unworthy men and from unworthy activities from which no good can come." Enter the real world of knights and their code of ethics and behavior. Read how an aspiring knight of the fourteenth century would conduct himself and learn what he would have needed to know when traveling, fighting, appearing in court, and engaging fellow knights. Composed at the height of the Hundred Years War by Geoffroi de Charny, one of the most respected knights of his age, A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry was designed as a guide for members of the Company of the Star, an order created by Jean II of France in 1352 to rival the English Order of the Garter. This is the most authentic and complete manual on the day-to-day life of the knight that has survived the centuries, and this edition contains a specially commissioned introduction from historian Richard W. Kaeuper that gives the history of both the book and its author, who, among his other achievements, was the original owner of the Shroud of Turin.
