What is less clear is how far the contemporary warrior aristocracy took this literature to heart and how far its ideals had influence in practice, especially in war. These are questions that Maurice Keen is uniquely qualified to answer. This book is a collection of Maurice Keen's articles and deals with both the ideas of chivalry and the reality of warfare. He discusses brotherhood-in-arms, courtly love, crusades, heraldry, knighthood, the law of arms, tournaments and the nature of nobility, as well as describing the actual brutality of medieval warfare and the lure of plunder. While the standards set by chivalric codes undoubtedly had a real, if intangible, influence on the behaviour of contemporaries, chivalry's idealisation of the knight errant also enhanced the attraction of war, endorsing its horrors with a veneer of acceptability."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aKnights and knighthood$zGreat Britain$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMilitary art and science$xHistory$yMedieval, 500-1500 606 $aMilitary history, Medieval 606 $aNobility$zGreat Britain$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $2General & world history 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory, Military$y1066-1485 615 0$aKnights and knighthood$xHistory 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xHistory 615 0$aMilitary history, Medieval. 615 0$aNobility$xHistory 676 $a355/.00941/0902 700 $aKeen$b Maurice$f1933-2012,$0193422 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786906403321 996 $aNobles, knights, and men-at-arms in the Middle Ages$93693040 997 $aUNINA
