4.0

This is a fantastic collection of essays from one of the 20th century's most important historian, but it has relatively little to do with Chivalry itself and more to do with the economic and social history around it.

Definitely recommended reading for medievalists, especially those interested in the culture of nobility around the year 1000, but those only interested in HEMA/historical combat probably won't find what they're looking for.
