«La Chevalerie» is Georges Duby's historical non-fiction book, published by Librairie Académique Perrin in hardback (125 pages, in French).
The historian Georges Duby invites young readers to reconstruct the lives of medieval knights: their origins, their way of thinking, and their world. To do so, he draws on the testimony of Arnoul, son of the Count of Guînes, a real knight whose story was written between 1160 and 1220, and on other sources such as Geoffroi, the crusader Guillaume, or the legendary Lancelot.
Originally published in 1993, it includes colour illustrations by Olivier-Marc Nadel inside and outside the text.
Aimed at young readers interested in the Middle Ages and at those approaching the history of chivalry for the first time.

He ranks among the most influential medieval historians of the twentieth century and was one of France's most prominent public intellectuals from the 1970s to his death.
