Synopsis
Excerpt from The Delphian Course, Vol. 5: A Systematic Plan of Education, Embracing the World's Progress and Development of the Liberal Arts
The feudal system gave opportunity for the rise and de velopment of chivalry in mediaeval Europe. An organization of society which set a comparatively small class of men free from exacting duties, usually incumbent upon citizens, accounts for the existence of knighthood as we find it in the Middle Ages. From the eleventh to the sixteenth centuries knight hood flourished, being more powerful during the first three hundred years.
Knights belonged to the upper or noble class and their activities were undertaken for the most part in behalf of that class. Nevertheless, their influence was felt throughout Eu rope and among all social classes. In some ways this influence was fortunate; viewed from other standpoints, it'was less for tunate, and even at times pernicious. When all is said, the good it embodied probably outweighed the evil.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brilliantly illuminates the fascinating history of chivalry during the Middle Ages. When feudalism created a new social class in Europe with warriors free from traditional civic duties, a unique culture emerged. From the eleventh to sixteenth centuries, knights were devoted to the Church, their lord, and their lady, adhering to a strict code of honor, truth, and loyalty. They courageously fought in battles and engaged in tournaments, testing their skills against fellow knights. The author delves into the romantic side of chivalry, where love for a lady inspired bravery and song. However, this book does not shy away from exposing the vices that accompanied chivalry, including pride and contempt for those they deemed inferior. Ultimately, the insights presented in this book challenge our understanding of medieval society, revealing the complex nature of chivalry and its lasting legacy on Western culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332821280_0
