	Richard Barber's classic account of the medieval world shows how chivalry affected or was affected by great social movements, great writers and great events, and analyses its legacy for later ages. Beginning with the knight, Barber discusses what sets this central figure of chivalry apart from other fighting men; he then examines chivalry in relation to literature, particularly the Arthurian cycle, and to religion; and ends with the transition from medieval knight to Renaissance gentleman.

	St Mary's Church in Fairford, Gloucestershire, is home to one of Europe's finest surviving sets of medieval stained glass windows: installed in the early 16th century, they depict scenes ranging from the Creation to the Last Judgement. Painstaking conservation work has recently revealed again their remarkable detail and craftsmanship, and this book discusses both the windows' design and the story of their survival and repair. The text is complemented with photographs of all 28 windows and the church's other architectural features.
