The image of the knight in shining armour has had a very long shadow in Western culture, from King Arthur to Monty Python.  The reality of life for medieval knights, obsessed with honour and reputation is the subject of this episode.  We meet a real Spanish knight, Suero de Quinones, who wore an iron collar and broke hundreds of lances for the love of a lady.  What was courtly love and how did it work?  How were jousting matches organised? Enter the world of a medieval knight!
