Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the evolution of chivalry, a military institution guided by religious ceremonies, philanthropy, and lofty codes of honor that defended the rights of the powerless and upheld justice. Despite misconceptions that link chivalry to ancient orders or specific historical figures, the author argues that it emerged organically during Europe's tumultuous medieval era. Feudal disintegration, rampant violence, and a societal craving for order sowed the seeds of this novel institution, whose knights pledged to redress wrongs, protect the vulnerable, and uphold moral virtues. The author details the gradual development of chivalric tradition, exploring the requisite vows, armament rituals, and religious aspects that shaped its identity. Beyond its martial nature, chivalry championed gallantry, courtesy, and respect for women, fostering a unique blend of idealism and martial prowess. This book delves into the multifaceted nature of chivalry, offering a comprehensive analysis of its origins, ceremonies, and profound impact on medieval European society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330873465_0
