| − | '''Chivalry''' is a code of respectful behavior toward others, including sportsmanship. '''''[[Hollywood]] attains popularity by portraying chivalry, yet [[Leftist]]s ostracize it in real life'''''. Chivalry originated during the [[feudal]] [[Middle Ages]] among [[knight]]s, mandating loyalty to one's [[lord]] and to [[God]], and a manly respect for women as inspired by the [[Virgin Mary]]. The code of chivalry created strong warriors among knights while endowing them with morals and [[faith]]. The word chivalry comes from the French word for "knight", ''chevalier''. The popular game of [[chess]] is based on chivalry, and a prominent historical example of chivalry was the self-sacrifice during the sinking of the ''[[RMS Titanic|Titanic]]''. In 2022, an example of chivalry was [[Will Smith]] face-slapping [[Chris Rock]] on stage at the [[Academy Awards]] for Rock's unfunny joke about Smith's wife. | + | '''Chivalry''' is a code of respectful behavior toward others, including sportsmanship.

| − | Chivalric romances, books which recounted the deeds of heroic knights such as King Arthur and Amadís de Gaula, were a popular genre of fiction in 16th century [[Europe]]. They were satirized (and immortalized) in [[Don Quixote]], where an aging aristocrat attempts to apply anachronistic chivalric values to his own time, with disastrous results. | + | Chivalric romances, books which recounted the deeds of heroic knights such as King Arthur and Amadís de Gaula, were a popular genre of fiction in the 16th century [[Europe]].

| | 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''. | | The concept of '''chivalry''' originated from various codes of behavior that were impressed upon knights.

| − | 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. (See [[Homeschooling#Reasons for Homeschooling|Homeschooling: Reasons for Homeschooling]].) | + | In medieval times, the concept of '''chivalry''' was instilled in the minds of all who became knights, as part of their training.
