Exploring the paradoxes of chivalry in medieval Europe, this authoritative text argues that chivalry contributed to violence rather than solely mitigating it. Through a detailed analysis of chivalric literature, it reveals how the ideal of restraint among knights coexisted with the glorification of heroic violence. The book delves into the complexities and contradictions inherent in the chivalric code, offering a nuanced perspective on its role in shaping medieval society.
