    The Knights Code of Chivalry and the vows of Knighthood

    The Knights Code of Chivalry described in the Song of Roland and an excellent
    representation of the Knights Codes of Chivalry are as follows:

    To fear God and maintain His Church


    To serve the liege lord in valour and faith

    To protect the weak and defenseless

    To give succour to widows and orphans

    To refrain from the wanton giving of offence

    To live by honour and for glory

    To despise pecuniary reward

    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

    To keep faith

    At all times to speak the truth

    To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun

    To respect the honour of women

    Never to refuse a challenge from an equal

    Never to turn the back upon a foe

    Of the seventeen entries in the Knights Codes of Chivalry, according to the Song of
    Roland, at least 12 relate to acts of chivalry as opposed to combat.

    The Knights Code of Chivalry and the legends of King Arthur and Camelot
    The ideals described in the Code of Chivalry were emphasized by the oaths and vows
    that were sworn in the Knighthood ceremonies of the Middle Ages and Medieval era.
    These sacred oaths of combat were combined with the ideals of chivalry and with strict
    rules of etiquette and conduct. The ideals of a Knights Code of Chivalry was publicised

    in the poems, ballads, writings and literary works of Knights authors. The wandering
    minstrels of the Middle Ages sang these ballads and were expected to memorize the
    words of long poems describing the valour and the code of chivalry followed by the
    Medieval knights. The Dark Age myths of Arthurian Legends featuring King Arthur,
    Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table further strengthen the idea of a Knights
    Code of Chivalry. The Arthurian legend revolves around the Code of Chivalry which
    was adhered to by the Knights of the Round Table - Honour, Honesty, Valour and
    Loyalty.
