On Womenly Knights (artifact)

This book was written by Chevalien scholar Michon Andreaux sometime in the 11th century to compile numerous smaller works by various authors of his time which argued for or against the concept of a woman being bestowed the title of knight, most likely due to the dubbing of the female Anti-Magi Rose den va Kreysauns at the beginning of the century by the warlord King Anton Descradau.

While there are many examples in Marcher history of women warriors, the specific title of knighthood is one that has nearly never been given to a woman. While the works are generally in support of women fighting and none dare try and blemish the name of the many Marcher heroes of the fairer sex, Andreaux ends the work by claiming that female knight's are themselves an attack against the 'strong and noble traditions' that the title holds, despite a begrudging admittance that Lady Rose's slaying of nearly a hundred undead and an Aversarian Magi before her 19th winter were somewhat impressive.
