Description
This ink and pen drawing represents one willing to stride a lonely path to uphold certain principles. In a time when the personality ethic is more powerful than the character ethic standing for one's principles is not often popular or easy.

The Seven Knightly Virtues

There was no such thing as a “uniform” code of chivalry in the Middle Ages. Many people — from successful knights to contemplative philosophers — compiled lists of virtuous qualities, called the “knightly virtues,” which they felt defined chivalry. No two were exactly the same.

There were, however, several common themes found in these lists of knightly virtues. By combining these, we have created what we consider to be the seven knightly virtues of the modern code of chivalry:

Courage
Justice
Mercy
Generosity
Faith
Nobility
Hope
