Purchase options and add-ons

The 15th century was a time of change for knighthood. Knights no longer fought for their lords in return for land, since the feudal summons had long before given way to a system of contracts. Moreover, many knights now preferred the role of landowner, man-about-town or parliamentary representative. However, this was also the age of the knight in plate armour, of the battle of Agincourt and the conquests of Henry V, and of the Wars of the Roses, the bloody internecine struggle that tore medieval England apart. In this title Christopher Gravett describes the life of a 15th century knight, his equipment and experiences from his earliest days as a squire through to his experiences on the battlefields of England and France.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Knight Moves from the Battlefield to a Legend of the Past
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2015
This is the third book of a three-volume set on the English Medieval Knight over the period of three centuries. As noted previously, prior to the Hundred Years Wars, the role of the heavy knight on the battlefield was supreme. However, during the Hundred Years War, and more precisely, at the Battle of Crecy on August 26, 1326, that situation changed. It was the long bow that was successful at Crecy and the battle revealed the weaknesses of the heavy knight in battle. By 1500 C.E., the role of the knight had evolved into a peacetime landowner and sometimes a member of Parliament. Thus, this book reflects the gradual change of the role of the knight from a weapon of war into an anachronism of the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Precisely the right amount of information
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2014

While I am very familiar with the Osprey series and own many of them, I bought this volume for a specific purpose. I currently volunteer at a heritage centre with Medieval subject matter and one of my duties is to answer questions on armour and weaponry for the Wars of the Roses period.

This book is perfect for the task. It contains exactly the right kind of information I require and is small and light enough to carry around or stow discreetly behind a display when required. While the text provides what I need to give short talks on the subject matter or look up information to answer a difficult question, the illustrations are also extremely useful. They provide an invaluable back up to our own exhibits. For example, the illustrations of roundel daggers, ballock daggers, halberds and arming swords are better than our own and some paintings show the weapons in use. This is exactly the kind of visual supplementary information that our visitors require.

I have always been a fan of Graham Turner's work and have one of his signed prints on my living room wall. His artwork in this volume is excellent and adds a great deal to this book.

This is a great book containing precisely the right amount of information and illustrations for my purposes.
