The rusted hauberk, a chain mail tunic, metaphorically shapes and unifies this investigation of feudalism and medieval culture. Ideas of a fixed historical construct are challenged, the authors emphasise instead that all constructs should be elastic, to allow historical perspectives to expand.

Illustrated wrappers. "The metaphor of the hauberk, a tunic of chain mail that rusts over time, shapes and unifies this investigation of medieval culture. These essays question the very rubric of the feudal ideal, demonstrating that in historical and legal practice, and in imaginative and didactic writing, a breach often exists between ideal and practice. The authors challenge the notion of a fixed historical construct, emphasizing instead that all constructs must be elastic to allow historical perspectives to enlarge." Size: Octavo. Book.
