Chivalry

Chivalry, or the chivalric language, is an informal and varying code of conduct that developed in France between 1170 and 1220. It is associated with the medieval Christian institution of knighthood, with knights being members of various chivalric orders, and with knights' and gentlemen's behaviours which were governed by chivalrous social codes.
