Small technical point here, there is no such thing as'The Order of Chivalry' unless the SCA has invented it. There are several Orders of Chivalry, The Garter, Bath, Golden Fleece even the Legion d Honneur. There are also some that survive in more or less their original form the Crusades , the Soveriegn Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, and the Military and Hospitaler Order of St Lazarus of Jerusaem being the most prominent. These latter two were originaly formed as true Orders ie membership in them involved becoming a monk and "taking holy orders" that is accepting vows of poverty,chastity and obedience. Just geting on a horse in armour and whacking your oponent was called being a 'man at arms' being a Knight-even a secular one - was and is a very diferent thing. Hope you dont thing I used a sledge hammer to crack a peanut, just thought yould like to know! '
