Originally published in 1940. Chivalry denotes the ideals and
practices considered suitable for a noble. The word itself is
reminiscent of the aristocratic society of medieval France
dominated by mounted warriors. As early as the eleventh century,
several different views of chivalric standards and behavior had
appeared. During the next four hundred years, these conceptions of
the ideal nobleman were developed by and for the feudal ruling
class. French Chivalry studies chivalry from the perspectives of
both social history and the history of ideas. The first chapter
provides readers unfamiliar with medieval history the background
required for understanding the chapters on chivalry.
