Introduction

King Arthur and his kinghts sat at a round table to show the equality of all men.  There was no head of the table, so everyone could feel like an equal.  King Arthur and his knights lived by a code- a code of chivalry.  Chivalry is a set of rules that knights live by.  They were things such as, acting like a gentelman, never killing an enemy who was lesser armed than you, never killing an enemy while his back was turned, and treating women with respect.  What does modern chivalry mean to you?  This would not be mideval chivalry, but it would be any instance were you acted in an honorable fashon.  This could be, taking the trash out for you grandma, painting a fence, cleaning your room, not stealing, or bening respectable- just to name a few.
