"You Wouldn't Want to Be a Medieval Knight" by Fiona MacDonald, 2014

$5.50

“Get ready…as a boy growing up in a castle in the Middle Ages, all you want to be is a champion to the king, but can you make it as medieval knight?

It’s dangerous!

Top tips from experts:

  • If you’d prefer a quiet life, you can pay the king a tax called “scutage” (shield money) to avoid becoming a knight.

  • Don’t be old-fashioned! Remember, styles of armor change over the years.

  • Take part in tournaments! They’re good practice for battle.

  • Be careful if you’re chosen to carry a banner in battle-it will make you an easy target for enemies.

Paperback, small crease on bottom of cover, otherwise excellent condition.
