Look at the code of chivalry as expressed by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. It is written for you again below.
To reverence the King, as if he were
Their conscience, and their conscience as their King,
To break the heathen and uphold the Christ,
To ride abroad redressing human wrongs,
To speak no slander, no, nor listen to it,
To honour his own word as if it were his God’s,
To lead sweet lives in purest chastity,
To love one maiden only, cleave to her,
And worship her by years of noble deeds,
Until they won her…
Answer the following questions in a well-developed paragraph:
If you were writing a knightly code for the modern age, which of these elements would you still include?
Are there others that you would add?
