This volume, intended for the general reader, throws a flood of
light on that very characteristic feature of the Middle Ages, the
institution of Chivalry. The first chapter deals with the place of
chivalry in history, showing its effects and influences. Subsequent
chapters show its earliest beginnings and its nature in France,
Germany, Spain, Portugal, etc. Among other subjects dealt with are
the Courtesy books and the romances of Chivalry and the idea of a
gentleman in connection with Chivalry. The whole forms an
introduction to students in a field that has been greatly neglected
in recent years.
