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 satirised (and immortalised) in [[Don Quixote]], where an aging aristrocrat attempts to apply anachronistic chivalric values to his own time, with disastrous results.
