骑士条例
当时圆桌武士中也存在类似于军规的约定,英国学者托马斯·马洛礼(Sir Thomas Malory,1405-1471)经过考证,将其归结为以下6条:
To never do outrage nor murder.
Always to flee treason.
To by no means be cruel but to give mercy unto him who asks for mercy.
To always do ladies, gentlewomen and widows succor.
To never force ladies, gentlewomen or widows.
Not to take up battles in wrongful quarrels.
永不暴怒和谋杀。
永不背叛。
永不残忍,给予求降者以宽恕。
总是给予女士以援助。
永不胁迫女士。
永不因争吵而卷入战斗。
“忠诚——信仰——荣耀——勇气”
