"Clear sighted history"
*Guardian*
"Professor Saul's achievement is to provide for the first time a
holistic overview of English chivalric culture in its historical
perspective. This is a fine book, whose richness of texture defies
a brief review, but which will undoubtedly become a classic"
*BBC History Magazine*
"Saul can make the most unpromising material speak to us with a
directness that can surprise even those who are already familiar
with it. This is a rich book that does ample justice to its complex
theme"
*The Times*
