Chivalry and Knighthood in Scotland, 1424-1513
Author:  Katie Stevenson
Published:  2006
Medium: Book         Publisher:  Boydell & Brewer Ltd

For decades, the study of Scotland in the fifteenth century has focused on the complex relationships between crown and magnates. However, the importance of the chivalric ideal to the Scottish knightly class, and the use of chivalry as a political tool by the Stewart kings, has been overlooked by scholars. This book aims to fill this gap.   hardback   ISBN 978-1-843-83192-1

The Flower of Chivalry
Author:  Richard Vernier
Published:  2007

The rise of Bertrand du Guesclin ranks as one of the most spectacular adventures in a fourteenth century rich in heroic tales. A poor Breton squire, ungainly and unlettered, he came of age at the onset of the Hundred Years War. He spent two decades engaged in irregular warfare in his native province before he became a knight, and was recognised by Charles V as the captain France needed.   hardback   ISBN 978-1-843-83352-9
