The concept of '''chivalry''' originated from various codes of behavior that were impressed upon knights. This took the form of a codified Code of Chivalry in or about the 12th century, largely spurred on by writings of Medieval courtly literature. Medieval courtly literature glorifies the valor, tactics and ideals of ancient Romans. For example the ancient hand-book of warfare written by Vegetius called ''De Re Militari'' was translated into French in the 13th century as ''L'art de chevalerie'' by Jean de Meun. Later writers also drew from Vegetius such as Honore Bonet who wrote the 14th century ''L'arbes des batailles'', which discussed the morals and laws of war. In the 15th century Christine de Pizan combined themes from Vegetius, Bonet and Frontinus in ''Livre des faits d'armes et de chevalerie''.

In medieval times, the concept of '''chivalry''' was instilled in the minds of all who became knights, as part of their training. Today, the modern notion of chivalry is often ignored in western public education - false notions of [[gender equality]] are taught instead. The lack of chivalrous education in the public school system is one of many reasons why parents may prefer [[homeschooling]] for their children.
