The Chevalier Bayard: A Study in Fading Chivalry is a historical biography written by Samuel Shellabarger. The book tells the story of Pierre Terrail, the Chevalier Bayard, a French knight who lived in the 15th and 16th centuries. Bayard was known for his chivalrous behavior, his bravery on the battlefield, and his loyalty to his king. The book explores Bayard's life and times, including his military campaigns, his relationships with other notable figures of the era, and his personal beliefs and values. Shellabarger also examines the broader historical context of Bayard's life, discussing the decline of chivalry and the changing nature of warfare during the Renaissance period. Throughout the book, Shellabarger emphasizes the importance of Bayard's legacy as a symbol of honor and integrity in a world that was rapidly changing. He also highlights the enduring appeal of chivalry as a concept, even as it was becoming increasingly irrelevant in the face of modern warfare. Overall, The Chevalier Bayard: A Study in Fading Chivalry is a fascinating account of a legendary figure in French history, as well as a thoughtful reflection on the meaning and significance of chivalry in the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
