Men in armor;: The story of knights and knighthood

Hardcover (W. W. Norton March 15, 1968)
A young noble's training for knighthood began at the age of seven, when he left his own home to enter another noble's household. When he had mastered a knight's weapons, learned to ride the powerful "great horse", could hunt, handle falcons, and dance and speak elegantly, he was finally "dubbed" a knight. From that day forth, he was bound by the code of chivalry; to defend the weak against the strong and the poor against the rich, and to behave always in a manner befitting a knight.
