Who Killed the Knight in the Armor

This book challenges the conventional narrative of the end of the Middle Ages, revealing how traditional symbols of medieval warfare, like armor and castles, persisted long after gunpowder's arrival. Through a detailed inquiry into various military and societal factors, it explores how technological and political shifts transformed Europe's landscape and social structure. Ultimately, it shows that the true impact was not the disappearance of the knight but the rise in the cost of war, reshaping power and defense in ways still relevant today.
