The Worth of a Knight tells the story of Garnier, a man short on luck. Having just survived the Battle of Agincourt on the side of the French, he's a man adrift. His lord is dead, his country is about to be overtaken by an outside usurper, and he's wounded by an arrowhead. With nothing to look forward to, anything could be a possible way out of this. The proclivities for kindness, decency, and growth remain at the heart of Garnier despite everything he has been through. The story is one of self-discovery, as well as moving beyond your preconceived notions about the world to see people as they actually are. What makes it unique in comparison to other stories are its setting and elements not found in many other such stories, like the high attention to detail paid to historically accurate clothing, tools, equipment, and even the dueling practices. This tale paints a vivid image of life during the early 15th century. About the Author Maxmillian Wiegel is a lifelong connoisseur of stories. As a child, he grew up on his family's stories of fabled lands and ancient heritages. He has always been a vociferous reader--especially of the fantasy and historical kind. Max is currently enrol led at the University of Michigan as a history major. He has been exposed to many aspects of the world's past, and the respect it ought to be paid. He has mainly studied European History, and he wrote this book in part during his studies at Oxford, hoping to capture the feel of the castles, ruins, and fields he visited during his time there. His hobbies include reading, writing, and experiencing the world. He also has amassed a collection of medieval reproductions, which proved essential in helping him to articulate and bring to life characters in this story.

What did it mean to be a medieval knight? Medieval knighthood and chivalry still hold a fascination for modern readers more than 500 years after the knight's office was overtaken by the military officer and civil servant. Writing in the latter part of the 13th century, Ramon Lull penned what has become on of the most influential books on what it meant to be a knight. Originally written in Catalan, it was first translated into English in 1484 by William Caxton and printed as one of the first books in England. Since the 15th century text has proven difficult for many students, this modernized edition by Brian R. Price strives to preserve as much of Caxton's language as posssible while upading the text as necessary to make this important work accessible to modern readers. As a bonus, the editors have included the anonymous Ordene de Chevalerie, translated into English by William Morris. Together, these works comprise two the three most important works on chivalry to survive from the Middle Ages.

Chivalry is what defines the status and purpose of the Knight and in modern times the Knight is neither a noble title nor a hereditary class distinction, it is neither the acclamation of useless talent nor the honoring of celebrity status. Knighthood is the measure of a man and the level of integrity required for exceptionalism. A Knight is still the elite of mankind. The worth of a man is determined by the benefit of those whom he has affected. The Code of Chivalry is much more an ideology ? an attitude, belief system, and philosophy ? than a tangible set of rules or actions. However, with every form of ideology there are definite tangibles; the ?always? and the ?nevers.? There are unbreakable laws that are necessary for the ideal to exist. Herein I have included a basic outline of chivalric principles that are foundational to any Code one may develop or adopt. These principles are the bedrock of the chivalric ideal.

On the great influence of a valiant lord: "The companions, who see that good warriors are honored by the great lords for their prowess, become more determined to attain this level of prowess." On the lady who sees her knight honored: "All of this makes the noble lady rejoice greatly within herself at the fact that she has set her mind and heart on loving and helping to make such a good knight or good man-at-arms." On the worthiest amusements: "The best pastime of all is to be often in good company, far from unworthy men and from unworthy activities from which no good can come." Enter the real world of knights and their code of ethics and behavior. Read how an aspiring knight of the fourteenth century would conduct himself and learn what he would have needed to know when traveling, fighting, appearing in court, and engaging fellow knights. Composed at the height of the Hundred Years War by Geoffroi de Charny, one of the most respected knights of his age, A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry was designed as a guide for members of the Company of the Star, an order created by Jean II of France in 1352 to rival the English Order of the Garter. This is the most authentic and complete manual on the day-to-day life of the knight that has survived the centuries, and this edition contains a specially commissioned introduction from historian Richard W. Kaeuper that gives the history of both the book and its author, who, among his other achievements, was the original owner of the Shroud of Turin.

IT must have been a sight well worth seeing when a knight mounted his horse and galloped away from a castle. Of course his armor was polished and shining, and, as Lowell says of Sir Launfal, he "made morn through the darksome gate." The children of the castle especially must have watched him with the greatest interest. The girls looked wistfully at the scarf or glove on his helmet, each one hoping that he who would some day wear her colors would be the bravest man that ever drew a sword. As for the boys, they could hardly wait for the day to come when they, too, could don glittering armor and sally forth into the world in quest of adventures. Even the youngest of these children knew that a boy must pass through long years of training before he could become a knight. This began when he was a small child, perhaps not more than seven years old. It was not the custom for the son of a noble to be brought up in the home of his father. He was sent for his education and training to the castle of some lord of higher rank or greater reputation, sometimes to the court of the king. He was taught to look with the utmost respect upon the man who trained him to be a knight, to reverence him as a father, and to behave toward him with humility and meekness. Even if the time ever came when they were fighting on opposite sides, the foster son must never harm the man whose castle had been his home. In those days of warfare and bloodshed, the king himself might well be glad to have as devoted supporters and friends a band of young men who had been carefully trained in the practice of arms. It is no wonder that kings and nobles looked upon it as a privilege to receive these boys into their castles. Indeed, when their fathers were inclined to keep them at home, the king sometimes demanded that they be sent to him. The boys of the days of knighthood were not so very different from those of to-day, and many of their amusements were the same as now. They had various games of ball, they played marbles, they see-sawed, and walked on stilts, much as if they belonged to the twentieth century. Of course they played at being knights, just as boys to-day play at being merchants or manufacturers. There is an old picture of some pages, as these boys were called, playing that two toy knights mounted on wooden horses are having a contest. The two horses are pushed toward each other, and if either knight is struck by the spear of the other and thrust out of his place he is vanquished.

Book three of the Crusades Series is here! In book two, The Knights Mourning, The Dawnings were betrayed by one of their own. Ambushed on their own lands, the army was decimated by the combined might of a Saracen-Braddock force. When it was clear that defeat was inevitable, Richard ordered the remnants of the Dawning chivalry back to fortify Dawning Castle in a last desperate attempt to preserve the barony, while he and William attempted to delay the enemy. Now sealed in the castle with only a handful of trained soldiers remaining, the Dawnings struggle to hold the gates against a superior army even while an unseen enemy within the castle works to undermine them at every step.
