The Knight. The romantic notion of the knight in shining armour is called into question - the reality being that they had little interest in saving damsels in distress. Jones reveals knights were far more interested in killing people, making money and becoming famous, with chivalry in the Middle Ages less about jousting for your lady and more to do with scoring a profit from the spoils of war.
