Land Owners

This is one of the better books on knights I've yet found, depicted them as noble land ownwers, a notch above the peasant whom they kept in line but not on the level of a baron and subserviant to a king. The knights owned land with the castle and were armor clad, sword and lance weilding soldiers. The knights were all that in the middle ages, and their bravery in combat getting rid of anything supernatural amazes me, but gun powder made at least the plate armor obasolete. It just couldn't protect against even a single bullet. These days, a singles jeans, shirt and jacket is bullet proof, it's everything but tank proof and you can't carry a tank in city limits.
