what was the code of chivalry?

Answer 1

Chivalric codes
There were several lists written down during the Middle Ages. One example code can be found in the book Chivalry by 19th century French historian Leon Gautier:[3]

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 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.

Answer 2

It was a series of ideals set down by knights, brutish and all-powerful warriors of the Middle Ages, to give try to tone down their plundering into over taxing, their conquering into regime-adjusting, their gunboat diplomacy into spreading democracy- oh wait, that's us...Anyway, the name comes from the French cheval, horse, so it was originally the skill of horsemen, and later the way that horsemen, Cavaliers, should act.
It should be noted that, even after Chivalric code became popular in the High Middle Ages, knights continued to bully, slaughter, pillage, and rape, until they were replaced by professional soldiers at the close of the Late Middle Ages.

Answer 3

Chivalry.
Six centuries later, the Duke of Burgundy defined for the Order of the Golden Fleece the knight's twelve chivalric virtues as ~
faith, charity, justice, sagacity, prudence, temperance, resolution, truth, liberality, diligence, hope and valour

~ a list which is easier to remember and will be as valid in the 21st century as it was in the 14th.

Original Code of Chivalry.
Chivalry was disciplined by a code of conduct that was clearly understood although it was never clearly formulated. Examination now, in retrospect, allows it to be reduced to this series of commandments composed by Léon Gautier ~
1. Thou shalt believe all the Church teaches and shalt obey her commandments.
2. Thou shalt defend the Church.
3. Thou shalt respect all weaknesses and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them.
4. Thou shalt not recoil before thine enemy.
5. Thou shalt make war against the infidel without cessation and without mercy.
6. Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy feudal duties, if they be not contrary to the laws of God.
7. Thou shalt never lie, and shalt remain faithful to thy pledged word.
8. Thou shalt be generous, and give largesse to everyone.
9. Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.
