You Wouldn't Want to Be a Medieval Knight by Fiona MacDonald


You (the reader) are the son of a senior servant living in England in the 1400s. Instead of following in your father's footsteps and becoming a servant, you'd much rather become a knight! During your training and as you become a knight, you will discover the tools of the trade, such as your armor, weapons, and horse, and get a glimpse of what it's really like to be a knight.


Have you ever wanted to be a Knight? Maybe you have wanted to wear the armor of a Knight. Well, now you can what it takes to become a proper Knight. This book takes you through the process of what you need to become a Knight and what each one goes through in training and in battle. The illustrations are very well done and make you laugh about the content even if it is about dying in battle. This book is part of a series that takes you through Medieval times as well as other times in history. It gives you the facts about Knighthood all while trying to keep the reader interested in the content. This is a definite keeper and would love to check out the other books in the series.
