Description

This is another in the famous Knight series by the renowned medieval historian Ewart Oakeshott.

Explore another fascinating dimension of medieval warfare in this engaging account of knights and their various kinds of armor.

Oakeshott focuses on the armor of the later Middle Ages, from 1100 to 1500.

He examines how armor developed, how craftsmen made the important garments, and he looks in detail at the different kinds of helmets and which were the best.

He also looks at the other important aspects of a knight's armor and finishes up with a discussion of how the armor was worn.

Along the way he dispels a number of myths about medieval armor. Originally published in 1961-and of interest to young and older readers-this updated and revised edition of A Knight and His Armor has an extensive and useful glossary.

Accurately illustrated by the author, the book captures the wonder and magic of a past time. "Oakeshott here provides a detailed history of how armor developed, how and of what it was made, and how it was worn." - Library Journal
