Synopsis:

Go back to the thrilling time of warring knights who were prepared to give their life in order to protect their lord and his castle.<br /><br />Castles may conjure up a romantic fairy tale world; however, in real life, during the Middle Ages, castles were fortresses, providing shelter and protection for the lord as well as for the peasants who lived on his land. For an army, a lord depended on young soldiers in armor called knights who spent years at the castle learning the skills of warfare. <br /><br />Author Sarah Fabiny dives into the history of castles and how they grew from simple wood structures to mighty fortresses in stone. She also explains who could become a knight and what their lives were like off of the battlefield, enjoying feasts, courting their lady loves, and showing off in tournaments. <br /><br />With 80 fun black-and-white illustrations and an engaging 16-page photo insert, readers will be excited to read this latest addition to Who HQ!

About the Author: Sarah Fabiny has written several Who HQ titles, including Who Was Beatrix Potter?, Was Was Frida Kahlo?, and What Is NASA?
