  • The Book of the Order of Chivalry
    The Book of the Order of Chivalry Friend, the rule and Order of Chivalry is written in this little Book that I hold in my hands here; I read and meditate sometimes on it in order to recall and savor the grace and favor that God has given me in this world as a reward for my having honored and defended with all my strength the Order of Chivalry. -- The Knight Hermit Personal note by Sasa Radjenovic KTJ-OSMTH There are hundred books regarding Knight Templars and most of those are SF Novels with too many fictions on the trail to DA Vinchi Code book, which is interesting but simply there is a little truth in that book. Beside that kind of books there are research books, that provide pure fact and information about the medieval order of Knights Templars. This book is special because it is written in medieval time, and by Knight Templar Ramón Lull, who also had been a philosopher before he joined the order. Interest is how he interpreted characters in this book, and from this book some subject connected about Knights in these times can be made. This book can be used today in modern orders because in the book is described what it takes to become a knight, postulate-square, etc. 1 Ramón Lull (c. 1232-1316?) was a Catalan philosopher born on the island of Majorca at Palma of a wealthy, noble family. A knight, he married at an early age, had children, and was made a seneschal (an official in charge of domestic arrangements and the administration of servants) at the court of King James II of Aragon.

    Beals 1 Running head: BEALS Chivalry in Malory: A Look at the Inconsistencies of Lancelot, Gareth, and Tristram in Le Morte d’Arthur Natalie Beals A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2009 Beals 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Paul Müller, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Carl Curtis, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Linda Nell Cooper, M.A. Committee Member ______________________________ James Nutter, D.A. Honors Director ______________________________ Date Beals 3 Abstract Chivalry and its counterpart, courtly love, are indispensible to Sir Thomas Malory’s fifteenth century work on Arthurian legend, Le Morte d’Arthur . The three great examples of chivalry in this work are the knights Lancelot, Gareth, and Tristram, each of whom has a book dedicated to his story. Within these knights’ portrayals of chivalry, however, develop certain inconsistencies which seem out of place against their chivalrous backdrop. The purpose of this thesis is to propose that the reason for these contradictions of character and of chivalry is the close yet destructive relationship between chivalry and courtly love. What leads Lancelot, Gareth, and Tristram to their individual failures in chivalry is their inability to reconcile their loyalty to their king and their knightly oath with their loyalty to their respective ladies. Whereas Gareth abandons courtly love for a more traditional from of chivalry, Tristram exhibits a perversion of courtly love that consequently produces a flawed chivalry.
