kings, and villains. The material for the medieval romance in English
was mainly drawn from the stories o f King Arthur and the Knights
o f the Round Table. This subject matter is sometimes called the
“Matter o f Britain”.
Central to the medieval romance was the code o f chivalry, the
rules and customs connected with knighthood. Originally chivalry'
(from the French word “chevalier”, which means “knight” or
“horseman”) referred to the practice o f training knights for the
purpose o f fighting. The qualities o f an ideal courtly knight in the
Middle Ages were bravery, honor, courtesy, care o f the weak,
respect for women, generosity, and fairness to enemies. An
important element in the code o f chivalry was the ideal o f courtly
love. This concept required a knight to serve a virtuous
noblewoman (often married) and perform brave deeds to prove
his devotion while she remained chaste and unattainable.
The code o f chivalry and the ideal o f courtly love were still in
evidence during the Renaissance as well. Knights anti courtiers
who wrote on courtly themes included the Earl o f Surrey, Sir
Thomas Wyatt, and Sir Walter Raleigh. Edmund Spenser and Sir
Philip Sidney wrote highly formalized portraits o f ideal love.
Medieval romance and its attendant codes o f chivalry and
courtly love faded in the Age o f Reason duringthe XVIII century,
but in the nineteenth century, Romanticism brought back the ideals
o f chivalry.
Treatment ofthe romance themes o f chivalry and courtly love
are still the topics o f literature. Historical fiction often attempts to
recreate the world o f the Middle Ages.
Fable and Fabliau
In urban literature fables and fabliaux were also popular. Fable
