We all have a set of rules we have to follow, whether it’s at home or at school, the Code of Chivalry is like that. It’s the knights’ code of behaviour; it was a moral system that went beyond the rules of combat. It introduced the concept of Chivalrous conduct; qualities idolized by knighthood, such as bravery, courtesy, honour, and gallantry toward women.
The Code of Chivalry was a part of the culture in the middle ages that was understood by all. A Code of Chivalry was documented in “The Song of Roland”. The “Song of Roland” Describes the 8th century knights of the Dark Ages and the battles fought by the Emperor Charlemagne.
This Code of Chivalry grew with songs of the minstrels (a medieval singer, musician, or reciter of poetry). Their poems showed that a knight had faith and a deep love for the Christian religion. He defended the church and was ready to die for it.
