520    A really informative book . . It whets the appetite to 
       learn more of the medieval warriors, their training, armor,
       weapons, and chivalry ( Army Rumour Service ). Originally 
       warriors mounted on horseback, knights became associated 
       with the concept of chivalry as it was popularized in 
       medieval European literature. Knights were expected to 
       fight bravely and honorably and be loyal to their lord 
       until death if necessary. Later chivalry came to encompass
       activities such as tournaments and hunting, and virtues 
       including justice, charity and faith. The Crusades were 
       instrumental in the development of the code of chivalry, 
       and some crusading orders of knighthood, such as the 
       Knights Templar, have become legend. Boys would begin 
       their knightly training at the age of seven, learning to 
       hunt and studying academic studies before becoming 
       assistants to older knights, training in combat and 
       learning how to care for a knight's essentials: arms, 
       armor, and horses. After fourteen years of training, and 
       when considered master of all the skills of knighthood, a 
       squire was eligible to be knighted. In peacetime knights 
       would take part in tournaments. Tournaments were a major 
       spectator sport, but also an important way for knights to 
       practice their skills -- knights were often injured and 
       sometimes killed in melees. Knights figured large in 
       medieval warfare and literature. In the 15th century 
       knights became obsolete due to advances in warfare, but 
       the title of "knight" has survived as an honorary title 
       granted for services to a monarch or country, and knights 
       remain a strong concept in popular culture.
