Knights are real people who not only lead crusades and fight in tournaments but, something harder, carry about their heavy loads of chain mail, weapons and armor plate. They parade before you and you ride with them until you know their hardships as well as their triumphs, their squires and their war horses, and now and then, their fair ladies. From the first mounted troops who supplanted the foot-slogging Roman legions, through the final flowering of the plumed knights who once owned all Europe, the men on horseback sweep through these pages as they once charged across the map.
