About The Chivalrous Society

and “Georges Duby in productivity and originality stands at the forefront of active medievalists in France and in the world.

The discrete themes of undergraduate medieval history are in reality one complex whole: land, wives, dynasty war, celibacy, vows, pilgrimage, crusade, nobility. and “–Times Literary Supplement and “Duby’s researches in medieval agrarian and social history have established him as one of the leading international authorities in those areas. This volume brings together 15 of his most significant articles. The book represents the best of ‘the new history. and “‘–Library Journal
