The Age of Chivalry

"The Age of Chivalry" typically refers to the medieval period in Europe, roughly spanning the 9th to the 15th centuries, characterized by the ideals and practices of knighthood. This era embraced a code of chivalry, which emphasized honor, bravery, courtesy, and gallantry toward women. Knights were expected to uphold these principles, both on and off the battlefield.

The concept of chivalry was intricately linked with the feudal system, where knights provided military service in exchange for land. They also engaged in tournaments, which were not just mere sport but a display of a knight's combat skills, prowess, and adherence to the chivalric code.
