The Virtues of Chivalry

I consider there to be a cycle of eight fundamental Chivalric virtues.  As a cycle, the eight fundamental virtues of Chivalry flow from the internal (Humility) to the interpersonal (Generosity) to the universal (Nobility) on around once more to the personal, etc.  I also see these eight fundamental virtues of chivalry in four overlapping groups, which I term “charges" to all noble men and women, who should always be:

     Mindful – manifesting the virtues of Faith, Humility, Nobility, and Prowess

     Compassionate – manifesting the virtues of Generosity, Courage, Faith, and Humility

     Loving/Caring – manifesting the virtues of Loyalty, Justice, Generosity, Courage

     Capable – manifesting the virtues of Justice, Loyalty, Prowess, and Nobility
