The ancient warrior code which persisted in medieval Christian
Europe dictated that a man's greatest virtues were physical
strength, skill at arms, bravery, daring, loyalty to the chieftain
and solidarity within the tribe. The primitive Church had been
diametrically opposed to such ideals, however by the early 8th
century the Church had grown wealthy, and the Saracen invasions of
Spain and France posed a threat to that wealth. The Roman Church
began to support war in defence of the faith, and by channelling
the martial spirit into the service of God, the brutal warrior of
the past was transformed into a guardian of society.
