The medieval knight was a well-trained fighting man, expert in the use
of sword, lance, spear and dagger, and member of a warrior aristocracy
whose values, virtues and vices helped shape European society for over
500 years. As a window into the knight and his craft, In Saint George's
Name: An Anthology of Medieval German Fighting Arts brings readers a
treasure trove of historic combat treatises, musings on the culture and
context of the martial arts in the late Middle Ages, and hands-on
training exercises for wrestling, dagger, falchion, and poleaxe. Join
medieval combat expert Christian Henry Tobler on an expansive journey
into the lost world of chivalric fighting arts, certain to thrill
martial artists, arms and armour enthusiasts, and lovers of history
alike.
