The knight code of honor A knight was expected to have not only the strength and skills to face combat in the violent Middle Ages but was also expected to temper

this aggressive side of a knight with a chivalrous side to his nature. There was not

an authentic Knights Code of Chivalry as such - it was a moral system which went

beyond rules of combat and introduced the concept of

Chivalrous conduct - qualities idealized by knighthood, such as bravery, courtesy, honor,

and gallantry toward women.

Knight life

•  

 Training for knighthood during medieval times usually began at an early age. Often the prospective knight was sent to live with a relative or lord who had the resources to train the young boy in use of weapons and, most importantly, the skills to handle a horse in combat. A knight-in-training would often serve as a squire (assistant) for an established knight, attending his needs, helping him don his armor, and making ready his horse and weapons.
