A cache dedicated to two of my favorite people - the Knights! A little history lesson: Chivalry is the traditional code of conduct associated with the medievel institution of knighthood. Over time, it's meaning has been refined to emphasise ideals such as the knightly virtues of honour, courtly love, courtesy, and less martial aspects of the tradition.The Knight's Code of Chivalry was a moral system that stated all knights should protect others who cannot protect themselves, such as widows, children, and elders. All knights needed to have the strength and skills to fight wars in the Middle Ages; they not only had to be strong but they were also extremely disciplined and were expected to use their power to protect the weak and defenseless. Knights vowed to be loyal, generous, and "of noble bearing". Knights were required to tell the truth at all times and always respect the honour of women. Knights not only vowed to protect the weak but also vowed to guard the honour of all fellow knights. They always had to obey those who were placed in authority and were never allowed to refuse a challenge from an equal. Knights lived by honour and for glory. Knights were to fear God and maintain His Church. Knights always kept their faith and never turned their back on a foe. Knights despised pecuniary reward. They persevered to the end in any enterprise begun.
What an awesome character to adopt, and indeed, my friends are true Knights!
