Chivalry is a code of conduct that medievalknights swore to follow. Chivalry was a feature of the High and later Middle Ages in Western Europe especially in the realm of Uther Pendragon. While its roots are recorded back to the 9th and 10th centuries, the system of chivalry flourished most in the 12th and 13th centuries before deteriorating at the end of the Middle Ages. The ideals of chivalry continued to influence behaviour for gentlemen and the nobility during the later Renaissance in the 16th century.

Chivalry Code was of gallantry and honour that medieval knights were pledged to observe. Its principal virtues were piety, honour, valour, courtesy, chastity, and loyalty.
