History and Chivalry Books
Who were the men who lived by the sword and by the refined chivalric codes of the middle ages, Renaissance and later? What books did these men read, and what philosophies influenced their worldview? Who were the Humanists, and how did the Ancient world inform that of the Renaissance?

Europe’s most delicate and refined literary works? There is a wealth of compelling stories in our historic and chivalric heritage, and we are proud to bring them to our readers.
Learn about history and chivalry - Who was Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, and why should we care?
