The rules and customs of medieval knighthood.
It is derived from the French word chevalerie - relating to the horse (French word for a horse = "cheval") which knights rode.
Chevalier is the French word for "knight". Knights were usually aristocrats, and it was pretty common for the Norman aristocracy in England to speak French. You'll note a certain similarity to the words "chivalry" and "cavalry".
The old French word for romance is "romans." It referred to a type of medieval narrative verse or prose dealing with knights, chivalry, and courtly love.
The term "chivalry" comes from the French word "chevalerie," which means the skills, values, and behaviors of a knight. It originated in the medieval period and was associated with the code of conduct and honor followed by knights in feudal society.
The word chivalry is a noun. The plural form is chivalries.
A behavior the medieval knights follow. The word chivalry is the system of knighthood and its practices, say what the ideal knight is. Practices include honor, courtesy, and generosity.
Good question. Chivalry comes from the french word for horse riding. It is also where we get the word cavalier. So Chivalry used to mean some one who was good at horse riding/combat. So Chivalry does not really exist as some written code like say Bushido did. If I had to define what it chivalry was. It was more or less what you lord told you it was or what people found "desirable" in a knight. Think "oh this knight is real brave courageous and loyal to his lord he is Chivalrous". See the video the TRUTH about chivalry byShadiversityon YouTube.
Yes, "y" is a vowel in the word "chivalry", where it has a long "e" sound.
