Description: We’ve all heard legends, seen paintings, and watched movies about knights, but just how much has their story been dramatized for the sake of entertainment? What role did knights actually play in history? In this episode of Perspectives, you’ll hear from several experts who cover knights’ battlefield dominance, their behavior, and several of their orders. Finally, the experts wrap up by exposing the military changes that eventually ended the knights’ reign. It’s not always as glamorous as a Hollywood film. ------------------------------------------- Clips in this video are from the following series on Wondrium: History’s Great Military Blunders and the Lessons They Teach, presented by Gregory S.
