Originally, chivalry was knighthood. It was the business of being a heavily armored cavalryman. There was a lot entailed in this in the Middle Ages, as a knight had to have an income and land to support his purchase of armor, raising horses, and keeping a support staff. This, in turn, meant having lands to support the process, with peasants, and all the infrastructure involved.
In time a Code of Chivalry was developed, which governed the actions of the knights, at least in theory. The Code of Chivalry required the knight to be merciful to enemies, be protective of the poor and anyone without defense, including all women, be loyal, be careful to protect the Church, and so on.

Is the age of chivalry the same thing as the middle ages?
No. The Middle Ages lasted from about 450 to 1450, an Age of Chivalry, regardless of how we mean the term, would have been only a small part of this. The Age of Chivalry is not really defined by historians. If we take it as the time when knights dominated warfare, it might be from about 1100 to 1350. If we take it as the time when the Code of Chivalry was of overriding importance in literature, it might have been from about 1200 to 1400.

Where were gypsies in the medieval hierarchy?
The word Gypsy is a bit problematical, because different people mean different things by it. Ir really meant Egyptian, but was a misapplied term. If what you mean by Gypsies is Travellers, people who include migrant workers, itinerant musicians and actors, tinkers, unemployed knights, vagabonds, and so on, then the answer is that these people were in Europe when the Middle Ages started. If what you mean by Gypsies is the Romani, then they were just entering Eastern Europe during the middle of the Late Middle Ages, and had not spread very far into Europe when the Middle Ages ended.
