modern chivalry - a start
'''Chivalry''' was the medieval code of behavior for [[knight]]s. It mandated loyalty to one's [[lord]] and to [[God]], and women were to be honored as the equivalent of the [[Virgin Mary]]. The Code of chivalry was not only intended to create good warriors, but also to endow knights with strong morals and [[faith]]s.

* honesty and [[fidelity]] in business dealings
* avoidance of [[gossip]], particularly by men
* courtesy and humility in everyday life
