	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Chivalry
		Chivalry (derived through the French cheval from the Latin caballus) as an institution is to be considered from three points of view: the military, the social, and the religious.

	churl: Chivalry
		In the Middle Ages, chivalry was all about defending a lady's honor, and although no ladies today would expect you to slay someone for her, the spirit is still there.
		Chivalry is frowned upon by some because it portrays a lady as weak and helpless.
		Chivalry, to me, is the way that a gentleman displays his respect for a lady, and this isn't only during dates or with women that you are interested in.

	Chivalry and Gentility
		Chivalry, as it has been characterized, consists of: a passion for competition, the spirit of enterprise, the honor of knighthood, the rewards of valor, a firm desire for justice, a passion for adventure, an eagerness to run to the aid of the distressed and affability.
		It is reasonably evident that the principles of chivalry are of Gothic origin, influenced by the strong religious character of the early Middle Ages.
		Although religious character, which distinguished ancient chivalry, arose out of the manner of the times and the state of society, it is evident that the feudal system, although it did not actually give birth to chivalry, was instrumental in bringing it to maturity.

		Besides the battlefield, the tournament was the chief arena in which the virtues of chivalry could be proved.
		The outward trappings of chivalry and knighthood declined in the 15th cent., by which time wars were fought for victory and individual valor was irrelevant.
		Artificial orders of chivalry, such as the Order of the Golden Fleece (1423), were created by rulers to promote loyalty; tournaments became ritualized, costly, and comparatively bloodless; the traditions of knighthood became obsolete.

		Chivalry refers to the code of ethics and conduct of a knight (or chevalier) during the Middle Ages, where his horse, weapons, attendants and flag were concerned.
		Modern chivalry fit fairly well during a time before the current women's rights movement, when women began to reject traditional roles and behavior, including the roles and behavior required for garnering chivalrous behavior.
		The perception was that old-fashioned chivalry was showered on women who were weaker than men, which had to be rejected by women who were seeking equality.

	Chivalry
		By bestowing the title of Christian warriors to the knights, the pope had begun the evolution of a code of conduct that all knights were supposed to follow.
		The protection of the poor, women and children, and defense of the church were just some of the chivalry codes that a knight was supposed to always obey.
		Our modern notion of knights is very much based in the ideas of chivalry, and it is the survival of medieval romantic writings that tend to show knights as the chivalrous ideal, that sways our view of medieval knighthood.

	Joe Pitt : A Code of Chivalry For Today
		In truth there was no such code; chivalry as a set of ideals and duties changed throughout the Middle Ages to meet new socio-economic realities.
		Chivalry is often taken to be a matter of opinion and of dispute, but most would agree that the following virtues all have a place in the virtues a knight should have.
		There will be grave differences of opinion on what duties and actions are expected in service of these virtues, and of their relative importance to one another, but I hope this serves as a starting point for discussion.

		Chivalry is the generic term for the knightly system of the Middle Ages and for virtues and qualities it inspired in its followers.

		The feminists came along and said that chivalry was condescending, that women were to be viewed as equals in all things and that social codes dictating otherwise were anachronistic.
		The new chivalry has also been written into law; it is embodied by affirmative-action and set-aside programs that favor women, and by legislation such as the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which now serves as a vehicle through which to empower and fund feminist groups.
		If the metaphor for chivalry was the knight in shining armor, that of the new chivalry is the hen-pecked capon of a Western man. He does his chivalric duty obediently, as he throws his coat over the puddle of scrutiny and escorts mediocre women from Humble Avenue to Exaltation Lane.

		The word "chivalry" comes from Old French cheval (horse), and chivalry literally means "horsemanship."

		Other matters associated with chivalry include gentlemanly contests in arms supervised by witnesses and heralds, behaving according to the manners of polite society, courtly love, brotherhood in arms, and feudalism.

	The Chivalry FAQ Sheet
		Chivalry is a system of discipline and social interaction that is derived from the warrior class of medieval times, especially and primarily the class of trained warriors who participated in the Crusades (12th - 14th centuries).
		Chivalry, or horsemanship, is "chevalerie." "Chevaleriere" (with a grave accent on the next-to-last "e") is the word for "signet ring." Presumably this refers to the armigerous status of knights and anyone capable of owning a horse.
		Chivalry hate sites are managed by persons known in the field as Order Assassins and Order Grumps, a few of whom are very well-known in the Chivalric community for their snobbery and nasty dispositions.

	86.03.03: Medieval Life: Squires, Maidens and Peasants
		With the medieval knight’s evolution as a warrior, a code of conduct developed known as chivalry, “chivalry” is derived from the French words “cheval” (horse) and “chevalier” (mounted warrior).
		At first, chivalry was military and secular; it referred to a loose fellowship among the warrior class, where king and knight were equal.
		Chivalry’s ideals were military, and without the horse nobody could have been a horse warrior or knight, as the terms became synonymous after the Norman Conquest.
