The golden age of Chivalry began when noble knights answered the call of Pope Urban II to go on the Crusades. "Deus vult" -- God wills it -- was their battle cry as they went to rescue the holy places of Palestine from Moslem domination and to defend the pilgrims en route to the Holy Land.
Léon Gautier in his book Chivalry summarized the “ancient code of chivalry” of the Middle Ages into what he called the “Ten Commandments of Chivalry" (Léon Gautier, Chivalry, trans. Henry Frith (New York: Crescent Books, 1989), p. 26.)

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
Edmund Burke was right. Too many good men are silent. But the only way to face the current crisis and return to the Christian roots of our Culture is for good men to speak up and start doing something.
