La división estructural en libros base y monografías referidas a hechos cruciales para la interpretación de la historia de los pueblos ( conflictos, desarrollo social, cultural y tecnológico, vida cotidiana, pensamiento ) permite tanto la comprensión global de la historia de la humanidad, como la profundización sobre determinados acontecimientos o aspectos generalmente ignorados en los manuales al uso. Los estudiantes encuentran así una forma atractiva y unas amplias posibilidades de su aplicación al estudio de las múltiples facetas del devenir histórico y de las diferencias culturales y sociales. Se combinan así los grandes acontecimientos históricos con aspectos referidos a la vida cotidiana, al pensamiento o a los avances tecnológicos. Se ofrece de este modo una pluralidad de recursos para la investigación individual o colectiva, y para el desarrollo de actividades sobre temas que, a su vez, relacionan la historia del pasado para la comprensión del mundo actual. Todos los libros de esta colección contienen abundantes ilustraciones, esquemas, mapas y gráficos aclaratorios de los textos, y han sido diseñados en un formato especialmente adecuado para la consulta y el trabajo de los alumnos y alumnas

The Middle Ages, with its crude reality and mystery, often enveloped in an air of religious and occasionally even mythical or fantastic mysticism, has always been one of the preferred themes of historians and history lovers in general. Since the end of the Roman Empire, with its manipulative tactics in which the infantry was the deciding factor in battles, the cavalry became the main player on the battlefields all over Europe, replacing other forms of weaponry and becoming important though not yet decisive factors in battle. It could be said that an army with a good cavalry had the advantage in battle. With the appearance of feudalism, in many cases, the knights became real warlords, with the corresponding legal and military obligations towards the lords they served, carrying out acts of war that would soon open up the doors of history to them, through the bards who narrated their achievements, lifting them up to the status of legendary figures, full of elements fruit of the imagination of narrators of the era, some of which have survived to our times. But these men's reality was far removed from this fantasy and numerous studies have been published on the topic revealing how their way of life and social condition determined their behavior during war and peace, their weaponry, status, etc. This book takes an extensive look at these and many other topics, distinguishing well between the scenes in which the most important battles of the Middle Ages took place and their players, because although they are enveloped in the same epoch, the reality was very different for, say a Teutonic knight than for a Spanish knight and so on. Furthermore, the book deals with all themes related to these historical characters, such as tournaments, equipment and saddle trappings, weaponry, different types of combat, siege machines and a long list of other items, until the first firearms appeared marking the end of the era.

Rafael Sabatini's thriller novel "Chivalry" tells the tale of a Venetian Knight of ideals set in mediaeval times. The son of a disgraced nobleman, Colombo da Siena, is unexpectedly orphaned when his father is hanged for treachery and his mother dies of grief soon thereafter. The young boy grew up and decided to make his living as a knight, where he won great fortune and fame in the Sicilian campaign. But his fame soon attracts the attention of the Countess of Rovieto, a young widow of ruthless nature, whose two husbands had died under mysterious circumstances.

Despite the grave misgivings of his aides, Colombo sets off to respond to her request, taking him into a journey of self-discovery and bringing his chivalrous nature to the fore...

Knighthood and chivalry are commonly associated with courtly aristocracy and military prowess. Instead of focusing on the relationship between chivalry and nobility, Jesús D. Rodríguez-Velasco asks different questions. Does chivalry have anything to do with the emergence of an urban bourgeoisie? If so, how? And in a more general sense, what is the importance of chivalry in inventing and modifying a social class? In Order and Chivalry, Rodríguez-Velasco explores the role of chivalry in the emergence of the middle class in an increasingly urbanized fourteenth-century Castile. The book considers how secular, urban knighthood organizations came to life and created their own rules, which differed from martial and religiously oriented ideas of chivalry and knighthood. It delves into the cultural and legal processes that created orders of society as well as orders of knights. The first of these chivalric orders was the exclusively noble Castilian Orden de la Banda, or Order of the Sash, established by King Alfonso XI. Soon after that order was created, others appeared that drew membership from city-dwelling, bourgeois commoners. City institutions with ties to monarchy—including the Brotherhood of Knights and the Confraternities of Santa María de Gamonal and Santiago de Burgos—produced chivalric rules and statutes that redefined the privileges and political structures of urban society. By analyzing these foundational documents, such as Libro de la Banda, Order and Chivalry reveals how the poetics of order operated within the medieval Iberian world and beyond to transform the idea of the city and the practice of citizenship.

Medieval Europe was a rapidly developing society with a problem of violent disorder. Professor Kaeuper's original and authoritative study reveals that chivalry was not simply part of the solution. Chivalry praised heroic violence by knights, and fused such displays of prowess with honour, piety, high status, and attractiveness to women. Though the vast body of chivalric literature, here examined, praises chivalry as necessary to civilization, most texts also worry over knightly violence, criticize all ideals and practices of chivalry, and often propose reforms. The knights themselves joined the debate, absorbing some reforms, ignoring others, sometimes proposing their own. Complexity likewise characterized the interaction of chivalry with major governing institutions ("church" and "state") emerging at the same time: kings and clerics both needed and feared the force of knighthood. This fascinating book lays bare the conflicts and paradoxes surrounding the concept of chivalry in medieval Europe.
