Eyewitness Knight follows the journey of a knight in making, from being a page or a squire at an early age undergoing rigorous training before making it to the ceremony of dubbing. With this book, you can learn what knights wore into battle, from heavy mail to plate armor and gauntlets. You will also enter a gallery of swords and other weapons that were an important part of a knight’s armory.
Ride along with these warriors on their horses that were used not only for wars but also while hunting and jousting. Explore the mighty castles and know how they were protected from the enemy during a siege. Meet manor lord and ladies and learn about the knightly code of conduct and the idea of chivalry.
Eyewitness reference books are now more interactive and colorful, with new infographics, statistics, facts, and timelines.
This exciting and enlightening collection of hardcover and softcover guides provides an excellent resource for comprehensive history studies. Each volume contains a host of fascinating historical facts and information. Superb full-color illustrations give the reader an "eyewitness" insight into a variety of historical periods. ~ Rachel
