The book starts with a general summary of the age of knights. Included in that were examples of how knights fit within the feudal system and feudal armies. Of particular interest was the guide the maximum number of retainers by noble rank found in The Black Book of Edward IV ... basically the book has a good balance of general information and specific examples. Once we get through the history lesson, the author turns toward the evolution of the knight's equipment. Here the material drifted into more detail than I care for and I skimmed over a lot of the talk about how much what cost et al. As a casual reader, that did nothing for me. Over all it was a pretty solid reference.

I previewed the kindle version; unfortunately the kindle format shuffles the pictures/images making it difficult to match up text with image. In one section the caption was complete interlaced with the main text.

I was given this free advance reader copy (ARC) ebook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
