This Lübecks Bookstore catalogue page lists books for knights and knighthood in Europe during the Medieval or Middle Ages period, covering the military religious Orders, life styles, people, weapons, culture, the Crusades, and other important books.
In addition, these books on the "Northern Crusades" provide important historical information for everyone trying to understand European and especially Eastern European peoples history.
These books cover the Teutonic Knights, The Templars, the Hospitallers (later Knights of Malta), and the Knights of the Spanish and Portuguese orders. The members of these military religious Orders were usually noblemen vowed to poverty,
chastity and obedience, living and working out of castles, or leading a monastic life in convents which were at the same time their barracks, and were devoted to spreading Christianity and waging war on the enemies of the Cross. They emerged
during the Crusades as Christendom's stormtroopers in the savage conflict with Islam.
Most of these once-famous orders, such as the Knights Templar, the Teutonic Knights and the Knights of St. John, have not survived intact to the present day, their influence declining after "the crusading spirit grew colder." However, their
story is a fascinating glimpse into a distant past.
Although these orders and others, like the Cistercians, still exist today, they are devoted primarily to charitable works.
