The Last Knight Errant: Sir Edward Woodville and the Age of Chivalry by Christopher Wilkins
Requirements: .PDF reader, 8 MB
Overview: Sir Edward Woodville was the medieval knight par excellence - except that his life coincided with the beginning of the Renaissance. With this vivid and long-awaited biography, Christopher Wilkins demonstrates how Sir Edward carved out an important role for himself in the 15th century, marrying the old-fashioned values of a chivalric age with the modernizing trends that were dramatically re-shaping Europe.
Far from an anachronism, The Last Knight Errant reveals how this quintessentially medieval figure, riding from battle to battle across Europe, was also profoundly engaged in the events that built the post-medieval states of England, Spain and France.
The Last Knight Errant is the first full biography of this pivotal figure in English history for over a century and reveals him to have been a true hero whose significance in the politics of the period is often overlooked. Drawing on original research throughout Europe, Christopher Wilkins draws out Sir Edward Woodville’s fascinating life and unusual character in the context of his remarkable family, who have been traditionally cast as among the most unpopular in English history.
