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. It happened, from time to time, that important people killed prisoners or others who were not armed. Henry V of England was accused of this, and it was considered a disgrace by many people.

It depends on the hostage crisis (1972 Munich or 1979 Entebbe or Gilad Shalit). In most cases, Palestinian Militants with guns attacked unarmed Israelis or surprised armed Israelis in well-planned attacks.
On 10 September 1942, at Gohpur a young girl led a procession of unarmed villagers under Congress flag. She was Kanaklata Barua a girl from Barangabari village. As soon as Kanaklata unfurled the flag she and her companion Mukunda Kakati were gunned down by the armed Police. The saga of her heroic sacrifice is still remembered with pride. On the same day at Dhekiajuli Police Station eleven unarmed villagers were gunned down by the armed Police while trying to hoist the tri-color at the Police Station - three of them were teen-aged girls- Tileswari, Numali and Khahuli .One of the best view of river brahmaputra and Tezpur
That they needed to launch a surprise attack is the reason why it was necessary for the Greeks to remain quiet inside the Trojan Horse. The Greeks planned to emerge from the hollow interior of their giant wooden horse when the Trojans were sleeping unarmed after celebrating the apparent withdrawal of Troy's assailants. Any sound would alert the Trojans to the fact that the horse was hollow, and filled with an armed elite expeditionary force, and that the warriors could be trapped inside for burning alive or dragged out for torturing and killing.
A Joust was one form of "Knightly contest", bidding two mounted knights against each other, striking the other knight was the simple intention, but breaking your lance on them with the force was better, and actually unhorsing them was better still. This showed the knight's competency at mounted combat. The other most common form of "Knightly contest" was the Melée, where the term used to describe armed close combat comes from. Although knights did not usually kill each other in these mass fights, they would use their close combat skills to grapple/throw/disarm/takedown the other knights in order to capture them and frequently ransom them in order to profit from the ransom. One key disadvantage in such armoured combat was that a knocked down opponent was a sitting duck in heavy armour, which was why medieval manuscripts show a lot of unarmed/close-armed combat but yet never featured any "ground work" like seen in modern MMA.
