Chivalry: The Everyday Life of the Medieval Knight

CHIVALRY has fascinated Western civilization for over a millennium, from way back when Knighthood was in flower, all the way to present day. Today, this fascination is as prevalent as it ever was, manifesting itself in works such as J.R.R. Tolkienâ€™s The Lord of the Rings.

But what IS Chivalry? Is it proper manners (the lack of which, especially toward ladies, is sometimes spoken of as â€œChivalry being deadâ€)? Is it kindness? Steadfastness? It is all of those things, and much more. Leon Gautier, the author of this magnificent book, describes it thusly: â€œChivalry is the Christian form of the military profession: the knight is the Christian soldier.â€ In a word, it is militant Christianity. But this is neither a religion confined to Sunday worship, nor a profession restricted to barracks; nor yet are the religion and the profession at all separate from each other. It is the armed defense of the unarmed Truth.

In his work, Gautier leaves no stone unturned, covering every aspect of the knight: his birth, education, marriage, everyday life, battle, and death. He also dedicates several chapters to the code of chivalry, which serves as the ten commandments of knighthood.

Let Gautier take you back to a time when Christians had to defend all that they hold dear: their families, their property, their country, and their Faith.
