Abstrakt: The article reviews the exhibition "Chevaliers," held at the Musée d’histoire de Nantes, which showcases approximately 150 objects from the arms and armor collection of Frederick Stibbert, an English-Italian collector. The exhibition aims to explore the history of knights and knighthood from the Middle Ages to modern times, challenging popular perceptions of chivalry through historical scholarship. It features various sections that discuss tournaments, the functions of armor, and the evolution of knighthood, while also addressing the role of female knights and the romantic ideals of the 19th century. Despite its visually appealing presentation and informative content, the exhibition struggles to cohesively link Renaissance artifacts with medieval themes, raising questions about the representation of knighthood across different historical periods.
