If the medieval king was the helmsman of the ship of state, the
royal household was the ship's engine. It comprised men from most
ranks of society, from the great magnates of the realm to simple
servants who looked after the day-to-day needs of the king and his
court. English government, in both peace and war, was conducted
through the royal household, amongst whom the most important men
were the king's knights: socially elite, militarily pre-eminent,
and indispensable for the workings of English medieval government.
This book presents a study of this group, taking an intimate look
at their recruitment, their rewards, and their functions during the
reign of King John.
