{"product_id":"charnys-men-at-arms-steven-muhlberger-9781937439057","title":"Charny's Men-At-Arms: Questions Concerning the Joust, Tournament and War","description":"The \u003ci\u003eQuestions Concerning the Joust, Tournaments, and War\u003c\/i\u003e is a lost classic work of European chivalry; the only record we have of a dramatic occasion when crucial questions on the nature of war and the proper conduct of the warrior's life were posed to an audience of experts, professional men-at-arms of rank, and influence. Written in the mid-14th century by the famed knight, Geoffrey de Charny, most modern scholars, perhaps sensibly, have shied away from even offering much in the way of analysis of the \u003ci\u003eQuestions\u003c\/i\u003e as a whole, leading to a situation where the \u003ci\u003eQuestions\u003c\/i\u003e are hardly known, even to scholars. But if Charny does not provide definitive answers about the practice of chivalry and the content of the law of arms, the \u003ci\u003eQuestions\u003c\/i\u003e nevertheless do provide us something else of value - a picture of how knights, squires and other professional warriors of standing, conceived of their way of life. Completing the work he began in 2003's \u003ci\u003eJousts and Tournaments\u003c\/i\u003e, Steven Muhlberger turns his pen to the final section of Charny's work to reveal what it tells us about how medieval \"men-at-arms\" conceived of themselves as a class, at precisely the moment that their world was undergoing a series of sweeping changes that would forever change the profession of arms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Muhlberger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1937439054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781937439057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Freelance Academy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Steven Muhlberger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930905035007,"sku":"9781937439057","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac71e36c-7e02-48ab-85fc-3cdb9ff830e7.jpg?v=1766345089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charnys-men-at-arms-steven-muhlberger-9781937439057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
