Written by Charles Mills, a 19th-century historian and scholar of the Middle Ages, the book explores the social, cultural, and political context in which chivalry emerged as a code of conduct for knights.Mills traces the evolution of chivalry from its roots in the warrior culture of Germanic tribes to its full flowering in the courts of medieval Europe. He examines the role of chivalry in shaping the ideals of nobility, honor, and loyalty, as well as its impact on the arts, literature, and religion of the time.The book also delves into the practical aspects of knighthood, including the training and education of knights, their weapons and armor, and their role in warfare and diplomacy. Mills provides detailed accounts of famous knights and their exploits, including Richard the Lionheart, William Wallace, and Joan of Arc.Overall, ''The History of Chivalry or Knighthood and Its Time'' is a fascinating exploration of a key aspect of medieval culture, and an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Europe or the evolution of Western civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
