Chivalry

Chivalry, a system of knighthood, for the profession of which the qualifications required were dignity, courtesy, bravery, generosity; the aim of which was the defence of right against wrong, of the weak against the strong, and especially of the honour and the purity of women, and the spirit of which was of Christian derivation; originally a military organisation in defence of Christianity against the infidel.

It is also a knightly behaviour that is found in the literature of the Middle Ages. Such a behaviour includes goodness, to be always ready to protect the weak and virtuous, to fight with the perpetrators of crime, and to serve the people, society and nation. They were courageous and without fear.
