If you didn't follow the code of chivalry, you might have your lady love slam the door in your face. The code of chivalry was not a legal code. It was about virtue, honor, and courtly love.

Its greatest advocates were people like Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was notorious for running "courts of love," which might or might not have existed in reality, but certainly existed in poetry. The power of the code of chivalry lay in its popularity and appeal to the ideals it represented. There is a link below.
