Chivalry represents an ideal of conduct worthy of emulation, not a description of the typical warrior of the middle ages. The details of the concept differed among

various European nations, but the common essentials are listed.

From Chivalry by Leon Gautier

Thou shalt believe all that the Church teaches, and shalt observe all its directions.

Thou shalt defend the Church.

Thou shalt respect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them.

Thou shalt love the country in the which thou wast born.

Thou shalt not recoil before thine enemy.

Thou shalt make war against the Infidel without cessation, and without mercy.

Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy feudal duties, if they be not contrary to the laws of God.

Thou shalt never lie, and shall remain faithful to thy pledged word.

Thou shalt be generous, and give largess to everyone.

Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.

Chivalrous Behavior:

Prowess in arms

Truthfulness

Loyalty to God, King, and country

Strength

Generosity and Compassion to the less fortunate

Service

Courtesy and Gentility

Chastity

Frankness

Temperance

Honor

Courage

Piety
