Few phenomena in the popular imagination are as closely linked with medieval society as knighthood and chivalry. At the same time, and due to a long tradition of differing national perspectives and ideological assumptions, few phenomena have continued to be the object of so much academic debate. In this volume, leading scholars explore various aspects of knightly identity, taking into account both commonalities and particularities across Western Europe.
Knighthood and Society in the High Middle Ages delves into how knighthood, between the eleventh and early thirteenth centuries, evolved from a set of skills and a lifestyle typical of an emerging elite habitus into the basis of a consciously expressed and idealized chivalric code of conduct. Chivalry, then, emerges in this volume as the result of a process of noble identity formation, in which some five key factors are distinguished: knightly practices, lineage, crusading memories, gender roles, and chivalric didactics.
