    Chivalry originally meant just being good at doing knight stuff. (Like handling a horse) The romanticism came later.

      Chivalry ou chevalerie en français vient du mot français"cheval',Horse in english.
      Ce qui démontre que les règles de la chevalerie médiévale ont été élaborées en France.
      L'amour courtois et le sens de l'honneur en faisait partie.
      Le terme anglais knight ne veut plus dire grand chose pour les origines de la chevalerie!

      I’m responding in English even though I speak French because it’s easier for me. Factually, you’re correct. But you’ve substantiated your point with a big fat fallacy. Just because we borrowed a word from somewhere to represent an idea does not by any means establish that the origin of the idea itself was where we got the word from, nor does this provide basis for defining the word. By this logic, you could say that Shrek 2 is an anime because the origin of the word is English and refers to an animation in general. Clearly we have to define things teleologically, and NEVER etymologically. Chivalry and chevalerie are not the same word. Their definitions will vary accordingly.
      What if I told you “babyfoot” means “the foot of an infant” just because the origin of the word is English? Obviously no one who speaks a word of French would agree with that.

    Chivalry is similar to Budo.
    It is the moral code that is required for the men capable & trained for extreme violence to conduct themselves within a civilized society.
    It is essential within a civilization that these men show temperance.
    Only the strong can show mercy. The weak are powerless to do so.
    Hence, become strong (not for the love of power) only so that you can protect the righteous weak & show those that only seek self service what true strength is.

    Chivalry is actually in history - the rules of contention of a medieval knight. Nothing more than like a 6 faceted diamond. 1) Defense of a person, loved one or kingdom or land, 2) Holy attending to one's religious obligations if any, 3) keeping arms for the defense of others (making armor or maintaining it), 4) Keeping contracts and business associations to the letter., 5) Guarding family and honor to the maximum to one's ability., 6) Giving justice with righteousness and honor through conversation and defending the laws of the land.
    Every order of Knights & Dames has specific rules and regulations. Many of them are still maintained today as they were in medieval times.

    I had a situation years ago where I was on the verge of challenging a guy to a duel. He was an auditor and accused me of stealing money from the company. I said to him "Lay the proof on this desk and I'll resign this minute." He responded "I brought the proof headquarters." This dialog went on over and over; for probably over the course of 20 minutes. It was to the point that he was challenging my honor & integrity. I finally told him "Either prove it or shut your mouth." Had he opened his mouth one more time without proving it, I think I would have challenged him outright.

    Certain historic aspects of Chivalry still have some value in modern times...more, if they cease to apply exclusively to men. Other aspects of the concept are not only outdated, but outright dangerous to the fundamental concept of civilization. Religion, for example, should absolutely and thoroughly be removed from the practice. Also, riding a horse is pretty useless now. Fun, potentially relaxing, but no practical functionality.
    There are similar codes of conduct in other cultures that also have worthwhile traits that Chivalry lacks, but which themselves have detrimental aspects. A combination of their worthwhile traits at the same time removing their troublesome characteristics, would be ideal. And, again, expanding the concept to include everyone rather than masculine exclusivity through an unnecessary dichotomy.

    Chivalry is exclusively a medieval term and has absolutely NOTHING to do with defending the weak, or justice, or treating a lady right. Its the code of the mounted warrior, and what it takes to be good at being one. Stop mixing all this modern BS into the interpretation. Just because later cultures misinterpreted the term does not mean you get to change the original meaning of the word. Like many here have pointed out, the term stems from the french word "cheval", and that should be the only thing discussed when making an attempt at explaining its meaning.

    This is as much propaganda as it is an attempt at teaching a historical subject. One particular point about Ignatius of Loyola that warrants important context, Loyola would go on to repent his former life of violence. Chivalry is too often equated with what we now think of as machismo. This is a distortion. For those interested in this subject, which is worthy of research and exploration, I very much recommend looking at primary sources rather than take anyone’s views at face value. Examples include the writings of Geoffroi de Charny and Chretien de Troyes. I also recommend the reflections of noted medievalist C. S. Lewis in his 1940 essay “On the Necessity of Chivalry” for a study on modern applications of chivalry and dangers of misunderstanding the tradition.

  • @t.diddle7998

    I tried to listen to this, but when you started talking about civil war era ethics (out of hand), I was done. Certainly good morality, ethics, and manners are appropriate in any time and place.
    But... chivalry is a very specific thing. I would surely hope that people throughout the ages would practice reasonable ethics for us all. And perhaps that's difficult, but let's try people.
    So, I'll have to go back and read all of the, perhaps, opposing views, but I will love that because opposing views are precisely what we need to understand the way forward.
