	Historical Dolls - Medieval Britain
		Although the term "knight" was coined back in ancient times with the "equites" of the Roman Empire, most people think of the medieval period when these armored mercenaries hired out their swords to wealthy nobles.
		A medieval sword was simply called a "sword," a "short sword" (in the works of George Silver), or an "arming sword." Further complicating the issue is a "true broadsword," which is actually an 18th century short naval cutlass.
		Thus "courtly love" was originally construed as an ennobling force whether or not it was consummated, and even whether or not the lady knew about the knight's love or loved him in return.
