	Virtue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The virtue of perseverance is needed for all and any virtue since it is a habit of character and must be used continuously in order for any person to maintain oneself in virtue.
		The thesis of the unity of the virtues is controversial - one might argue that humans can be courageous without being wise - but it is often defended, particularly in Plato's early dialogues, by the claim that all virtues are a single sort of knowledge, perhaps 'knowledge of good and evil'.
		Although few if any virtues are truly universally valued, Seligman claims that the ones on his list are all considered important by an overwhelming majority of cultures; although rare communities that do not admire kindness or courage may exist, they are clearly exceptional.

	Virtue
		As a virtue, courage is covered extensively in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, its vice of deficiency being cowardice, and its vice of excess being recklessness.
		It was one of the five "cardinal" virtues held to be vital to society in Hellenic culture.
		It is one of the Four Cardinal Virtues considered central to Christian behaviour by the Catholic Church and is an important tenet of the moral codes of other world religions—for example, it is one of the Five Precepts of Buddhism.

		Knightly Virtues: Questing Knights have the Questing Virtue; they have vowed to face whatever dire peril comes against them in order to be worthy of the grail and so are immune to panic.
		Knightly Virtues: Knights of the Realm have the Knight's Virtue; their pride and honour as Knights means that they ignore panic caused by any fleeing troops who are not also Knights.
		Knightly Virtues: Knights Errant have the Knight's Virtue; their pride and honour as Knights means that they ignore panic caused by any fleeing commoners or allies.

	Virtues and Vices
		The idea of virtues and vices is present in the Stoic Distichs of Cato (which was translated into many vernacular languages, including Old Norse), and most societies had a set of ideals of good and evil behaviour, often fixed in number.
		Its contrary virtue is Hope (spes), because it rejoices in the future, rather than dwelling on the turmoil of the present.
		The virtue of temperance is the knowledge of the middle way between too much and too little, and the knowledge of one's own measure.

		Virtue of Knightly Temper (25pts): Every original attack that hits grants an additional attack (but only against ONE foe.) You can get up to double the number of attacks your knight has in a challenge, or against a single mini.
		Virtue of Valour: (25pts) When facing an enemy with a higher ST than himself, the knight gets to re-roll failed to-hit rolls.

		Champions of Knight units will always have the same virtue as the rest of the unit but the poor old commoner champion doesn't get a virtue and is left to fend all on his own.
		Putting a hero in you big knight unit with this virtue is the same as placing the army standard bearer with the unit for about 100 points less.
		Virtue of Devotion : When I first read this virtue I thought that it was a cheap alternative to the Amulet of Obsidian but closer reading reveal that it only protects the knight from hostile magic.

		And, although J.C. Holt sharply disagreed with Hilton and Keen -- causing Keen to later modify his position -- by identifying the yeomen with "the retainers and dependants of the crown, the aristocracy, and the landed gentry," he persisted in localizing the audience of the poems in the manorial halls of the countryside.
		The virtues celebrated in courtly romance--martial prowess, voluntary daring, quest for unpredictable risk, loyalty to a revered lady, solidarity of the group, and largesse--have been conserved, imitated, and appropriated by the urban merchant and artisan classes, who are the producers and consumers of the Robin Hood poems.
		Indeed, Robin exhibits all of the courtly virtues enumerated by Nerlich, but he also personifies the concomitant commercial values of the guildsman or merchant, which reveal that the poem has already undergone significant ideological transformation.

	On the Chivalric Virtues--Count Sir Garick von Kopke, SCA
		In the medieval view, courage was one of the most important knightly virtues, due perhaps to the difficulty of being courageous in the face of death.
		Courage is a virtue cheaply bought in some contexts in the SCA, for it is easy to face death when it means only a short cessation of playing.
		The more difficult and more vital part of the virtue of generosity in the SCA, however, is not in being generous with goods or with praise, but being generous in giving the benefit of the doubt to your opponent.

	Seven Knightly Virtues - Todays Code of Chivalry - Scott Farrell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		More than just a safety net in times of tragedy, hope is present every day in a modern knight’s positive outlook and cheerful demeanor — the shining armor that shields him or her, and inspires people all around.
		Each of these concepts is important in itself, and every one of these virtues is an admirable quality, but when all of them blend together in one person, we discover the value, and power, of chivalry today.
		Modern-day knights should strive to keep these virtues alive in their own hearts, but, perhaps more importantly, they should work to bring these wonderful qualities out in the people they see every day — at home, in the office, at school or on the street corner.

		These knightly virtues, and the actions and discoveries of the quest itself, are extremely important to the theme of both the detective and quest narratives.
		The physical, emotional, and mental journey through which each character passes along his path to complete the quest or solve the mystery- changes the character in one form or another, and generally brings them to a better sense of themselves and the world around them.
		Their knightly qualities, their honesty and loyalty to each other and the safety of the moonstone, are tested through their experience in this mystery.

		While other virtues are necessary (and often crucial) to a knight, their benchmark must be the truth.
		Those are the virtues that I think not only make up a great knight, the medieval warrior and guardian, but also a great human being.
		To me, the virtues listed in this thread are that of what a Holy Knight should be and what I believe the members of this guild uphold, not of what they were in the historys past.

		The Seven Virtues were: Faith, Hope, Charity, Justice, Fortitude, Temperance, and Prudence.
		The Knightly Virtues included the seven plus many others such as (pulling straight from this Summer Tournaments Illuminated) loyalty, truth, chastity, brotherly love, humility, largesse, beneficence, hardiness, prowess, pity, courtesy, honesty, fear of God, and shame.
		However, many of these virtues are mirrored in non-Christian societies.

		Although there is no 'authentic' code, discussions of knightly virtues can be found in the writings of knights and bards throughout history.
		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.

		Brian also publishes, edits, and frequently writes for ‘Chronique: The Journal of Knighthood and Chivalry’, a publication devoted to the exploration of the knightly virtues, fighting techniques, and research into period documents on all aspects of chivalry.
		In their pas (and in historical pas d’armes of the 14th and 15th Centuries), members of their company (and several others attending) held the list as defenders, or ‘tenans’, as they were known in a medieval pas against all worthy challengers, or ‘venans’.
		Here, the primary emphasis in on chivalric virtue and honour: it’s an honour to face the Champion of the Order, knowing he is holding the list single-handedly against all comers.

	What is the Pas d'Armes?
		During the late 14th and up through the third quarter of the 15th century, a specialized kind of 'tournament' became popular, one that strove to bring out the breadth of chivalric virtues within the knights, to showcase individual prowess, and to evoke something of the 'ideal' chivalry buried in the legends of history.
		Early accounts of knights meeting one another head-on in a clash of splintering lance and cleft shields held a powerful place in the iconography of the knightly culture as it rose and changed from the 9th century to the 16th.
