Select all that apply. Which statements about chivalry are correct?

  1. It was a code of conduct expected of knightsRespuesta correcta
  2. It is a reliable description of how knights actually behaved in war
  3. Bravery, loyalty, honour and courtesy were among the qualities it called forRespuesta correcta
  4. It was a written law enforced in every royal court with fixed penalties
  5. It was an ideal, and knights did not always live up to itRespuesta correcta

Explicación

The code set out what a knight was supposed to be, and the qualities it named were repeated in poems, sermons and household instruction across western Europe. Treating it as a record of behaviour fails because the same centuries produced a great deal of conduct that the code itself condemned, and an ideal states an aim rather than describing a practice.
