An exciting addition to the "Horrible Histories" series, these titles will tackle all the hot historical topics in a new full-colour format with durable cover. In the second title of the series, Tery Deary reveals the horrible history of knights - all the gore and more! Readers should forget the fairy tales from days of old when knights were supposed to be bold and damsels were always in distress, and brace themselves for the terrible truth about the cold blooded killers. From Arthur and his mythical knights to warrior kings and cruel crusades, there are foul facts on a whole host of knasty knights plus dire details of the weapons they used and the rotten rules of knight fights.
