The CODE OF CHIVALRY is the code that all knights live by. A knight was expected to obey his lord, to be brave, to show respect to women of noble birth, to honor the church, and to help people. And help noble kids become men.

The purpose of the of code of chivalry was that the kings and the knights would have respect for women that time was for the women.

The Knights' Code of Chivalry was part of the culture of the Middle Ages, understood by all, even if rarely practiced in actuality. Perhaps the best period description of what was expected of a true, chivalrous knight is found in the famous French medieval epic, The Chanson de Roland, which describes the semi-fictitious struggles and battles of the knights of Emperor Charlemagne. Composed between 1089-1100, it narrates the fate of the rearguard of Charlemagne's army, after its betrayal into the hands of the Saracens.

Led by Roland, the vastly outnumbered French force fights to the last man, but in doing so sets forward a kind of chivalric benchmarks to which every knight aspired: to fear God and maintain His Church, to obey those placed in authority, to at all times speak the truth, to live by honor and for glory, etc.

Knights had to have deep faith generous to all and stand against injustice (they didn't usually follow this code)
