The whole idea of Chivalry arose during the High Middle Ages. It was informed by people such as Eleanor of Aquitaine and a host of European bards, who used the idea of the good warrior, derived partly from the Arabs and partly from the crusades, as a basis for songs and stories.
With the end of the Middle Ages, the knights passed out of usefulness, and the age of Chivalry ended with Don Quixote, which, while very funny, mocked the idea of the romantic knight.

Is the age of chivalry the same thing as the middle ages?
No. The Middle Ages lasted from about 450 to 1450, an Age of Chivalry, regardless of how we mean the term, would have been only a small part of this. The Age of Chivalry is not really defined by historians. If we take it as the time when knights dominated warfare, it might be from about 1100 to 1350. If we take it as the time when the Code of Chivalry was of overriding importance in literature, it might have been from about 1200 to 1400.

No "age of"2nd answer:There are those who call the Middle Ages the Age of FaithThe Middle Ages are sometimes called the Age of Darkness, which I believe is a poor name for the period.Within the Middle Ages was a period sometimes called the Age of Chivalry, and another age, with somewhat different connotations but possibly similar dates, called the Age of the Mounted Knight.Also within the Middle Ages were several ages called renaissances. Among these were the Carolingian Renaissance, the Islamic Renaissance, the Ottonian Renaissance, the Macedonian Renaissance, the Renaissance of the 12th Century, and the first half or so of the European Renaissance. In fact nearly all of the time after about 700 AD fell into one or more of these periods.I have heard the Late Middle Ages (1300-1453) called the Age of the Longbow.Depending on how you define the Middle Ages, they included all or important parts of the Age of Migrations (about 300 to 700 AD).
