Chivalry formed to the violence of the feudal warrior class and the use of violence shifts from suppressing the serfs to maintain power to protecting the peasantry. De Charny outlines in The Book of Chivalry, that there were many expected behaviors for knights revolving tournaments, assorted categories of warfare, and pilgrimages, the latter two being pillars of knighthood during the crusades. De Charny’s depiction of chivalry during the fourteenth century explains the “various conditions of men-at-arms, of both the past and of the present” and aspects of chivalry and knighthood from least to most important in terms of bettering reputations and obtaining socioreligious acknowledgement.
