Reviews
This is the final installment in Oakeshott's A Knight and His Castle/His Weapons/His Horse/in Battle series. Oakeshott here provides a detailed history of how armor developed, how and of what it was made, and how it was worn. The archaic notion of the armored knight as clumsy and constrained has been shattered in recent years, and specialists now know that a well-made suit of armor allowed the knight protection as well as freedom of movement.
