Chapter 5: War

Nowadays, we tend to divide society by class – we see ourselves as middle class, or working class etc. 

In the Middle Ages, writers divided society into three classes – those who worked, those who prayed ... and those who fought.

this chapter is about the fighters, how they saw themselves, what they did, and what they were really like.
