The volume presents the life of pages and squires, the training of knights and the dubbing ceremony, the evolution of armour from chain mail to the full suit armour, bloody medieval battles and the crusades, and finally the twilight of the age of knights when these medieval warriors were replaced by soldiers equipped with more sophisticated types of weapon. The book's highly detailed, historically faithful, and artistic illustrations not only accompany the informative descriptions, but also provide further information on the mediaeval era, making this age almost palpable for the reader, and further inspiring an active interest in the historical events of these dark, yet exciting, ages.
