EK’s Code of Chivalry The idea of chivalry is a combination of truth, honor, valor, courage, courtesy, loyalty, kindness, purity, humility, and compassion. All of these components come together to form the idea of chivalry just as different metals are forged together to create a sword. Chretien de Troyes called the order of chivalry "the highest order that God hath ordained." Every man who wished to be a knight of the Round Table had to take solemn vows that they would pledge to live their lives by these ideals. Even though the days of the knights have long past, the ideals of chivalry still apply to today. Many people care very little about honor today and live life as they please, but there are still those who try to live a noble life of honor.
