The Nonexistent Knight: A Literary Fantasy Satirizing Medieval Knighthood Through an Empty Suit of Armor – Charlemagne's Era

An empty suit of armor is the hero in this witty novella, a picaresque gemâ€”now available in an independent volume for the first timeâ€”that brilliantly parodies medieval knighthood.

Set in the time of Charlemagne and narrated by a nun with her own secrets to keep, The Nonexistent Knight tells the story of Agilulf, a gleaming white suit of armor with nothing inside it. A challenge to his honor sends Agilulf on a search through France, England, and North Africa to confirm the chastity of a virgin he saved from rape years earlier. In the end, after many surprising turns of plot, a closing confession draws this sparkling novella to a perfect finish.
