Growing up in Appalachian, old English customs were still part of daily life. I never saw this in a history book but in our community, chivary was part of the post-wedding ceremony where the bridge and groom were teased and pranks were played on their wedding night.

Who followed a code of honor called chivary?
Knights in medieval Europe followed a code of honor called chivalry. Chivalry emphasized virtues such as loyalty, courage, honesty, and courtesy, and it outlined the conduct expected of knights in battle and in their interactions with others. The code of chivalry placed emphasis on protecting the weak, upholding justice, and showing respect towards women.
Why did knights have to follow code of chivalry?
When a knight had to follow the Code of Chivalry, the reason was not legal or military, but personal. If the knight did not follow the Code of Chivalry, his lady would not respect him. Obviously, not all knights were constrained by ladies, and not all ladies really cared... So that is the reason why. Above is an incredibly romanticised ideal of chivalry, the truth is the laws of chivalry were incredibly varied, but were mostly aimed at "good and proper conduct of gentlemen" and a sort of Geneva convention of "the laws and ordinances of war" If a knight broke such laws then he might be removed from knighthood, have the lands given to him by the crown or other lords stripped for him or even hanging. some of the war codes were quite modern compared to what happened later on in history ie: if a man surrendered you had to take him prisoner, feed care and clothe him; since it was the case of "if you kill my men, I'll kill yours". Some laws were just bizzare to our eyes like if in a siege the defenders tried to mine their way to the enemy tunnels being made the combatants became "brothers in arms" and were obliged to treat one another as family even if they were on opposite sides With example of the siege of Rouen where Henry V fought against the constable of the city and after the battle had to spare his life. In the UK there is still today a Court of Chivary though it is largely non-functional but can still act as a Civil or Law court on matters of both chivalry and heraldry.
