Chivalry is what defines the status and purpose of the Knight and in modern times the Knight is neither a noble title nor a hereditary class distinction, it is neither the acclamation of useless talent nor the honoring of celebrity status. Knighthood is the measure of a man and the level of integrity required for exceptionalism. A Knight is still the elite of mankind. The worth of a man is determined by the benefit of those whom he has affected. The Code of Chivalry is much more an ideology - an attitude, belief system, and philosophy - than a tangible set of rules or actions. However, with every form of ideology there are definite tangibles; the "always" and the "nevers." There are unbreakable laws that are necessary for the ideal to exist. Herein I have included a basic outline of chivalric principles that are foundational to any Code one may develop or adopt. These principles are the bedrock of the chivalric ideal.
