Chivalry is a code which is associated with institution of knighthood. It arose from a German custom during medieval times. According to the chivalric code it was stated that all knights should help and protect the ones who are not capable of protecting themselves. They were considered the ones who use their powers in order to protect the defenseless and weak. They should also watch over the honor of all other knights. Basically, they are the ones known for their strength and courage and also for their skills. But over the time, the meaning of chivalry has been redefined to emphasize on qualities such as maturity, loyalty, honor, courage, generosity, valor, dexterity, love, courtesy and courtly. Chivalry is the sum of all these ideal qualifications of a knight. It is something that separates the men from young boys.
