Composed for King Henry VI in the middle of the Wars of the Roses,
Of Knyghthode and Bataile adapts the most widely used military
manual in the Middle Ages into English verse. That work is here
edited by Michael Livingston and Trevor Russell Smith from all four
surviving manuscripts, and presented with a contextualizing
introduction and copious notes and glosses. Responding to both the
evolution of warfare and the historical background of his own time,
its anonymous poet produced what one critic has called "one of the
most brilliant military poems of the fifteenth century."
