A Code of Chivalry is not a strict guide for life. It is something to aspire towards. Below is the one I try to live by:
1. Thou shall follow the dictates of moral conscience.
2. Thou shall be willing to defend your values.
3. Thou shall have respect and pity for all weakness and steadfastness in defending them.
4. Thou shall love thy country.
5. Thou shall refuse to retreat before thy enemy.
6. Thou shall wage unceasing and merciless war against the infidel.
7. Thou shall obey the orders of those appointed above you, as long as those orders do not conflict with what you know to be just.
8. Thou shall show loyalty to truth and your pledged word.
9. Thou shall be generous and giving of oneself.
10. Thou shall be champion of the right and good at all times, and at all times oppose the forces of evil.
I see this code of chivalry not as a rigid set of rules, but something to aspire towards. After all, I am only human.
