Noble Habitus

Strength, loyalty, generosity, and restraint - this is the code that the knight must follow.

Before the concept of chivalry, those who wished to live a noble life of honour adhered to the unwritten code of 'noble habitus'. The habitus extolled the virtues of loyalty, mercy, strength, generosity and honour as key facets of the nobility. Many of its ideals were first postulated in the Song of Roland, an epic poem written about the decisive Battle of Roncevaux in AD778, when Charlemagne's rear guard were cut off and bravely fought to the last man to ensure their king's escape. In the poem, the character of Count Oliver, friend to the eponymous Roland, exemplifies the virtues of the habitus through his bravery, skill and wisdom; he is known as 'preudomme' - the ideal nobleman, forming the honourable bedrock upon which Medieval chivalry was later built.
