Raising a Modern Day Knight



Knights embodied a well-defined set of ideals. Many knights sincerely adhered to and embraced a moral code of honor. They pledged themselves to their lord, their kind, and their God.

One historian writes:

Honor was the shrine at which the knight worshipped: it implied renown, good conduct, and the world’s approval. The “word of honor” was the most solemn oath the knight knew, and this alone became the reason for the most extravagant exploits.”
