{"product_id":"knights-at-tournament-christopher-gravett-9780850458367","title":"Knights at Tournament","description":"Like all warrior classes throughout history medieval knights engaged in military games, partly in preparation for war and partly for pure sport. From their often brutal origins in the 10th century to the gaudy pageantry and eventual decline of the 15th and 16th centuries, tournaments were the centre of the knightly life. The image of the armoured and surcoated knight on his caparisoned charger remains the epitome of the chivalric ideal. Christopher Gravett explores the history of the tournament from its chaotic beginnings to its more formal, 'civilised' incarnation, describing the various 'events' and equipment which came into use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Gravett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0850458366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780850458367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.84h x 7.20w x 0.18d","brand":"Christopher Gravett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135256314111,"sku":"9780850458367","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07e0afe2-64aa-4ea6-9dfd-e2d080db776b.jpg?v=1755009602","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knights-at-tournament-christopher-gravett-9780850458367","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
