	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.
		Chivalry, in the new sense, rested on a vow; it was this vow which dignified the soldier, elevated him in his own esteem, and raised him almost to the level of the monk in medieval society.
		The Crusades introduced the golden age of chivalry, and the crusader was the pattern of the perfect knight.

	Wager - LoveToKnow 1911
		When an ordinary court ordered the battle, it was fought on foot with staves and leather shields; but when a court of chivalry' ordered it, on horse with spear and sword.
		The last sitting of a court of chivalry for criminal business in England was in 1631; and as a civil court (for cases of honour and questions of precedence) it gradually decayed through want of power to enforce its decisions.
		In the wager of law the defendant, with eleven compurgators, appeared in court, and the defendant swore that he did not owe the debt, or (in detinue) that he did not detain the plaintiff's chattel; while the compurgators swore that they believed that he spoke the truth.

	Chivalry - LoveToKnow 1911
		The primary sense in the middle ages is "knights" or "fully armed and mounted fighting men." Thence the term came to mean that gallantry in battle and high sense of honour in general expected of knights.
		Thus "to do chivalry" was a medieval phrase for "to act the knight." Lastly, the word came to be used in its present very general sense of "courtesy." In English law chivalry meant the tenure of land by knights' service.
		The Court of Chivalry was a court instituted by Edward III., of which the lord high constable and earl marshal of England were joint judges.

	Court of Honor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A court of honor (or, court of honour) is a semi-official or unofficial tribunal constituted to determine various questions of social protocol, breaches of etiquette, and other allegations of breaches of honor, or entitlement to various honors.
		The court of chivalry was not a court of record, and as such had no power to enforce its decisions by fine or imprisonment; as such it became relatively disused.
		A court of honor can also be a military court to investigate and issue judgments concerning acts or omissions which are considered to be unbecoming to an "officer or a gentleman", but which do not rise to the level where they are considered crimes triable under military law.

		King Arthur's court, in the words Twain used to describe the fortress of Camelot, is "full of loud contrasts." The space is lofty and grand, yet crudely hewn.
		Also the Yankee describes the court as a "childlike and innocent" lot, credulous beyond anything he has ever seen, believing every tall tale that comes before them, even though it is a known fact that all of the knights exaggerate and lie to aggrandize their exploits.
		While 'chivalry' brings with it connotations of the utmost reserve and gentility, Hank describes the bawdiness and ill manners of the ladies in the court as being as barbaric as the armed combat of their counterpart knights.

		But it was the influence of court that brought the ideals of chivalry to their full strength.
		The history of chivalry is one of a continual harkening back to a mythical ‘ideal’ time when knights acted like knights, an outcry for the knights of ‘today’ to reach deep into their hearts and perform as knights ‘ought,’ in accord with the legendary behavior of those who went before.

		In its heyday, the High Court of Chivalry was much more than an heraldic tribunal, its jurisdiction being military matters not governed by common law.
		This wider practise of civil law was obscured by the Court's dormancy since the early 18th century.
		Based on (hitherto unpublished) 17th century records of the Court of Chivalry and secondary sources amongst the manuscript archives of the College of Arms, this study overturned previous legal histories of the subject and shed much new light on the practice of civil law in England, and on the social history of the 17th century.

		The Court relied upon a Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals case that rejected the notion that some sense of fairness ought to allow biological fathers to avoid the financial responsibility of supporting a child as a proxy for the loss of control of the events that naturally flow from sexual activity.
		Accordingly, the Court found that the Paternity Act did not violate the Equal Protection clauses of the Michigan and United States Constitutions either on its face or as applied to Dubay.
		The court agreed, stating this action is "frivolous, unreasonable, and without foundation and seeks to advance a theory that is foreign to the legal principles on which it is ostensibly based." The Court is allowing the Attorney General to submit a claim for his office's attorney fees.

		In the Middle Ages, the Earl Marshal and the Lord High Constable were the officers of the King's horses and stables.
		When chivalry declined in importance, the Constable's post disappeared, and the Earl Marshal became the head of the College of Arms, the body concerned with all matters of genealogy and heraldry, although the Earl Marshal's connection with heraldry came about almost accidentally.
		In conjunction with the Lord High Constable he had held a court, known as the Court of Chivalry, for the administration of justice in accordance with the law of arms, which was concerned with many subjects relating to military matters, such as ransom, booty and soldiers' wages, and including the misuse of armorial bearings.
