Holy warriors : the religious ideology of chivalry

Holy warriors the religious ideology of chivalry

This study argues that chivalric ideology of the high and later Middle Ages selectively appropriated religious ideas to valorise the institution of knighthood, and describes how both elite warriors and clerics contributed to a Christian theology that validated the knights' bloody profession.
