German Knighthood, 1050 to 1400
Book •
Benjamin Arnold's German Knighthood, 1050 to 1400 explores the development, social role, and eventual transformation of the knightly class in medieval Germany.
The book analyzes how knights were integrated into feudal structures, their economic and military obligations, and how changing warfare and society altered their status.
Arnold uses a range of primary sources to reconstruct the lived experiences of knights and the institutional frameworks that shaped them.
The work situates knighthood within broader political and economic shifts of the High and Late Middle Ages.
It is a detailed academic treatment of how military elites adapted — or failed to adapt — to long-term structural change.
