Description
Chivalry, as it is known today, is the medieval code of conduct associated with knighthood in Europe. As a practice, however, it is simply a way and means to uphold the society's sense of honor. The term for a similar concept in Japan was bushido. Historically, it pertained mostly to combat, but as time went by it came to have larger, more genteel connotations. Sociologists and fans of medieval society alike should enjoy this illustrated guide to life in the knighthood.
