{"p":["The knight is the supreme warrior of the Middle Ages. Fully armored and mounted on a magnificent charger, he seems invincible.

What is required when you go through the ceremony of knighthood?","Here are the answers to these and many more questions plus practical advice on topics such as equipment, fighting methods, and the conventions of warfare. But the knightly life is not all battles and sieges: there are also tournaments and jousts to enjoy and the world of courtly love.","Based on contemporary lives and descriptions, this book—written by a leading medieval historian—paints a vivid picture of what it was like to be a medieval knight."]}
