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