Summary "The History of Chivalry; Or, Knighthood and Its Times, Volume 2 (of 2)" by Charles Mills is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book delves into the evolution and characteristics of chivalry and knighthood, particularly during significant periods in Medieval England and its associated cultures. It explores how chivalric ideals influenced societal norms, military practices, and personal virtues, focusing on notable figures like Edward III and the various heroes of his reign. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a detailed analysis of chivalry's state in England, particularly during the reign of Edward III. It highlights the lavish tournaments and the burgeoning chivalric culture characterized by courtesy, honor, and valor. Important figures, such as Sir Walter Manny, are introduced for their gallantry and notable deeds, exemplifying the ideals of knighthood.
