Groundbreaking research,
By M. Seghizzi (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Order of the Garter 1348-1461: Chivalry and Politics in Late Medieval England (Oxford Historical Monographs) (Hardcover)
This is a fascinating study of a previously unexamined area of medieval history. It seeks with some success to reconcile our understanding of the relationship between the aspirational and idealistic world of chivalry with the pragmatic and at some times brutal world of medieval Europe. Focusing in particular on the order of the Garter during the later Middle Ages, it discusses how the politic functions of the order operated within a structure of ideals that embraced the highest aspirations of the chivalric ethos. All in all an inspired work of scholarship.
