  2. Aim: How did knights change the values of the Middle Ages? April 1, 2014

  3. I. The World of Knights A. Knights: Lower nobles who served as mounted warriors for lords during the Middle Ages. B. At age 7, a boy slated to become a knight was sent to the castle of his father’s lord. There he learned how to ride, fight, hunt and keep weapons in good condition.

  4. I. The World of Knights C. With his training finished at the age of 21, the youth became a knight. He would kneel before an older knight and receive a dubbing. “In the name of God, Saint Michael and Saint George, I dub thee knight. Be valiant.”

  5. I. The World of Knights D. Feudal warfare occupied most of the time of knights. As these wars started to decrease by the 1100s, tournaments, or mock battles came into fashion.

  6. II. The Values of Knights A. Chivalry: Code of Conduct that Knights follow. What are some of the characteristics?

  7. II. The Values of Knights • Brave, loyal to your lord, true to your word • Fight for the church and to protect the defenseless • Fight fairly • Treat captured knights well • Women should be protected and cherished.

  8. Discussion Question Based on the clip, do you think that American troops in Afghanistan today are chivalrous? Why or why not?

  9. II. The Values of Knights B. Values of chivalry are adopted by Troubadours, wandering poets who praise the perfection, beauty and wit of women. Read Troubadour Love Song, and answer the following questions (email them to me): • According to the author of this poem, what qualities should a man look for in a woman? How is this different from the reasons why many people might have gotten married before this? • How does this “courtly love” poem alter traditional gender roles in European society?
