The image of the knight is deeply intertwined with warfare, with their primary role being the defense of castles and fortresses during tumultuous times. Knights adhered to a specific code of honor, known as the chivalric code, which any aspiring knight was expected to know and live by. The virtues embodied by knights—bravery, courage, loyalty, devotion, generosity, honor—are still admired today. A knight was expected to be fearless in battle, ensuring safety and security for his lady; loyal and devoted in all aspects of life; generous, as true nobility of spirit meant avoiding greed; and to uphold honor above all, treating any slight against his or their lady's honor as a grave offense.

The knightly oath encompassed protecting the faith and its churches from criminals, defending widows and orphans, earning a living in an honest and respectable manner, challenging wrongdoers to duels to protect the innocent, living with a clear conscience before God and people, striving for justice, opposing evil, valuing one's reputation, and keeping one's word, as breaking it even once could lead to the loss of the esteemed title of knight.
The knight's primary weapon was his sword. Chainmail armor and a helmet provided protection in battle, while a shield was essential for defense against attacks. Despite the weight and bulk of their gear, knights were required to maneuver their horses with skill and confidence.
