What is a good source for learning about the history of knights?

July 23, 2008 - 6:30 pm

I've always liked knights and anything related to knights. I would like to be educated more in the history of *real* knights (not tales). Can anyone recommend a good source for reading and learning more about knights throughout history?

Thanks!

There are some very good sites here. Have a look through them; I've found them interesting:
