Born in Ireland in 1800 of English Stock and raised in a strongly
Protestant surrounding, Kenelm Henry Digby entered the Roman
Catholic Church while writing his first great masterpiece; The
Broadstone of Honour, first published in 1822. The Broadstone
treats of the origin, spirit and institutions of Christian Chivalry
and the true practice of the same. It was his deep study of these
lofty ideals and the "Ages of Faith," which he had been raised to
despise, that led him to his conversion. Maxims of Christian
Chivalry was edited bt Nicholas Dillon, O.F.M. in 1924, taking
essential bits from The Broadstone and categorizing them into a
book which could well serve as a manual for the Catholic Knight.
Some headings include: Definition of Honour * Definition of
Chivalry * Motto of Chivalry * Rules of Chivalry * Extracts from
the Book of Chivalrous Instruction * Religious Orders of Knighthood
* Preparation for Knighthood * List of Famous Knights * Facing
Death * The Voice of Nature * Fruits of Solitude * Reverence for
True Womanhood * The Divine Office * Church Music * All Things in
Christ...but a small sampling. Foreword by Robert Kane, S.J.
