Knights have had a significant impact not only on the Middle Ages, but also on all aspects of modern Western society. The knight's unique code of conduct, values and beliefs, relationship with the church, relationship with the lord, and relationship with the lady all left unlimited room for imagination for later generations of literature, art, and historical narratives.

I think this book tells us the development process of the knight profession from a true and objective perspective. It neither blindly pursues knights and chivalry nor deliberately vilifies and opposes the knight profession. It is really well written!

It is biased toward popular science, and some parts are written in a biased way, but the flaws do not hide the merits.
