The Knights Code Of Chivalry

The concept of listing good manly attributes is hardly a new thing. And the things on the list are still valid and applicable today. Below is a man code from almost 1000 years ago with some translated to our version of English which will henceforth be called " modern dumb arse English" or MDAE. Read on fellow knights...... Knights Code of Chivalry sad descripted in the "Song of Roland" 1098 A.D. To fear God and maintain His Church. (Revere God & keep order in the Body of Christ) To serve the liege lord in valour and faith.(serve your Spiritual authority in valor and faith) To protect the weak and defencless. To give succour to widows and orphans. (give assistance to widows and orphans) To refrain from the wanton giving of offense. To live by honour and for glory. To despise pecuniary reward. (Don't do things for money or material gain) To fight for the welfare of all. To obey those placed in authority. To guard the honour of fellow knights. To eschew unfairness, meanness and deceit. (Avoid unfairness, meanness and deceit) To keep faith. At all times to speak the truth. To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun. (be sure that you finish what you start.) To respect the honour of women. Never to refuse a challenge from an equal. Never to turn the back upon a foe. So what do you think?

  1. The code is definitely not new...possibly forgotten amongst most men. Definitely not new. It's amazing how society has changed what's expected of men. What's even more unbelievable is how men have LET society change what's expected of them. Sad. Thank you Lord for giving me the power to change the things I can.
