Abstract

The figure of the warrior-scholar remains a perennial object of study embodied during the Middle Ages by the literate knight (chevalier-lettré; ritter-gehlerter). The study dwells upon knightly education during Catholic West as well as in Byzantine cosmos. Far from the prejudice that the wielders of the sword narrowed their existence solely to serving their feudal masters and preparing for future conflicts, a vast, albeit not mainstream literature uncover deeper layers with regard to the life of martial nobility. Thus, a significant portion of it was product of culture and literacy, not only by accident but because growing state bureaucracies needed people capable to shoulder monarchies in the exercise of governance.
