From childhood to chivalry: the education of the English kings and aristocracy 1066-1530 (1st)

Originally published in 1984, this is a study of the kings and the aristocracy who ruled England between the Conquest and the Reformation.

Not, as usual, about their adult lives, but how they became the people they were through childhood and education.

It follows noble boys and girls from birth through the care of their nurses, masters, and mistresses, until they left home for further training in noble households, monasteries, and universities.
