Title: The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Gentleman's Guide to Chivalry
Post by: Sir Ancelyn on 2010-10-22, 00:03:00

I bought this around the same time I got "Fighting with the German Longsword." It's been a while since I read it, but I remember that it made a lot of good points and seemed well reasoned and researched.  Has anyone else encountered this tome?

I'll have to look into this...I could use some pointers in the chivalrous behavior arena.

My copy arrived. No time to read it yet. It'll take me the rest of the year to finish the book I'm on, probably.

I'm still reading The Knight of the Cart in the collection of Chretien de Troyes stories. It's taking forever since I only find time for a few pages here and there.  :-\

LOL

Oh ok, I don't feel so bad.  I'm still working my way through the Knight with the Lion, which isn't AS hard to get thru as Cliges was...or even the Cart for that matter...but as I'm not yet at the end, I'll leave the final say for that part.
