During the 14th century, men of arms -- knights and soldiers -- exercised themselves in various forms of competitions to both refine their skills and as a matter of national honour. Steven Muhlberger details these contests, analysing how their renown was of great political importance. Drawn from an extensive study of all remaining sources from the 14th century, Dr Muhlberger brings his considerable scholarly expertise together with a knack for accessible writing to produce what will become the definitive work on the subject.
