Things could be a lot better in the 21st century, but when you look back at the 14th, we should count our blessings. In this graphically illustrated book which catalogues the horrors of living in the Middle Ages, English knight Sir John Hawkwood emerges as an antihero in keeping with his era. He was the kind of knight who stabbed a nun over whom two of his men were about to fight a duel exclaiming, "Half for each, " thus saving himself the potential loss of two valuable soldiers.
