What would it have been like to live in the Middle Ages, don a suit
of shining armor, and defend castle and king?" Knights" tells the
story of this elite class of warriors, the training they endured
from a very young age, the heavy weaponry they used, the intricacy
of their chivalric code, the jousts and tournaments they competed
in, and the castles that formed the center of their world.Children
will learn about, and get to see in fascinating images, all the
complicated components that made up their armor, the colorful
heraldic symbols that signified their loyalties, and the evolution
of castle architecture, from simple motte-and-bailey structures to
formidable fortified stone buildings with moats, towers, and
defensive battlements. There's even information on leisure
pursuits, such as hunting and falconry.In addition, the book
describes the two significant periods of knightly warfare in the
Middle Ages--the Crusades and the Hundred Years' War between
England and France--as well as the history surrounding that
greatest of legendary knights, King Arthur, head of the Knights of
the Round Table.Along with spectacular art and maps, the special
interactive items include booklets, sliders, and fold-out pages.
