Our entire concept of Chivalry has been corrupted over the years by victorian romanticists and that knights could get away with many crimes and go unpunished.

However there is a ceremony to stripping a knight of his rank; first the said disgraced knight is brought before a priest and his lord if he is a landed knight or the knight/priest who elevated him if he is a free knight, he is then stripped of his arms (this means armour more then weapons) and his spurs then his sword is taken away from him broken in two and laid out before him.

One important element of the Code of Chivalry was mercy. Killing an unarmed knight would not have been consistent with the code as it would be merciless.
