Beskrivelse af The Chevalier Bayard
""The Chevalier Bayard: A Study In Fading Chivalry"" is a historical biography written by Samuel Shellabarger. The book tells the story of Pierre Terrail, a French knight who lived during the 15th and 16th centuries and was known as the Chevalier Bayard. Bayard was renowned for his chivalry, courage, and honor on the battlefield, and was considered a model of knightly virtue. The book explores Bayard's life and career, including his early years as a page in the court of King Charles VIII, his service in various military campaigns, and his legendary defense of M�����zi�����res during the Italian Wars. The author also delves into the cultural and political context of Bayard's time, including the decline of chivalry and the rise of Renaissance humanism. Through his research, Shellabarger paints a vivid portrait of Bayard as a complex and multifaceted figure, whose reputation as a paragon of chivalry was both earned and contested. The book is a fascinating exploration of an important historical figure and a compelling study of the changing values and ideals of the Renaissance era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
