Code of Honor (Knights) II

Knights were expected to follow a Code of Honor.

Chapter VI THE LADIES KNIGHT “…Ye should give mercy unto them that ask mercy, for a knight without mercy is without honour." …by ordinance of the Queen there was set a quest of ladies on Sir Gawaine, and they ordered him for ever while he lived to be with all ladies, and to fight for their quarrels; and that ever he should be courteous, and never refuse mercy to him that asketh mercy. Thus was Gawaine sworn upon the four Evangelists that he should never be against lady nor gentlewoman, except if he fought for a lady and his adversary fought for another.

Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory circa 1470.
