Love it ( ) Stephen Turnbull has turned out another very enternaining and informative book with [The Knight Triumphant]. This book is captivating, I believe, for both the novice on the subject as well as the well-read. Although there were some sections of the book that I felt were lifted verbatum from his previous book [The Book of the Medieval Knight] I found myself consuming the words as voraciously as I did the first time I read them. He is a master at combining technical aspects and the more tedious aspects of history with incredibly vivid accounts of the human experience and examples of individual story. This makes for a very enjoyable book. If you are looking for detailed accounts of battles or studies on chivalry, armor, or war this book is a little more sweeping and general for that endevour. But it a very good book nevertheless. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
A best-selling expert on medieval warfare has produced a hugely successful book--over 100,000 copies sold--that returns by popular demand as the premier reference on knighthood. The riveting chronicle trains its focus on the golden years of the knight during the 14th and 15th centuries. The life of a knight starts with his earliest upbringing, his formal education, and his dangerous, exacting years of training. Once a knight is ready for a life of battle, the story turns to his vast choices of weapons and armor--all shown in graphic illustrations. Charts and maps help portray battle strategies and tactics, while behind-the-scenes unfolds a drama of intrigue, chivalry, and fanaticism, from Edward III and the Black Prince to the fall of Richard III on Bosworth Field. Illustrations from archives provide rare scenes of people, equipment, and battle scenes, while modern photos display battlefields and castles as they look today. No library descriptions found. |
