![]() ![]() Romantic novels, poems and songs ( chansons de geste) were written which promoted further still the ideal of chivalry with their rousing tales of damsels in distress, courtly love (the unrequited and unattainable love of a married aristocratic lady) and heroic, wandering champions (knight errants) fighting foreigners and monsters - which were essentially the same. The magnificent sight of a troop of heavily armoured knights galloping on to the battlefield won many a medieval conflict before it had even started. The discipline of the chivalric code must also have helped when armies were in the field (but not always), as did its inspirational emphasis on display knights preened about the battlefield like peacocks with jewelled swords, inlaid armour, plumed helmets, liveried horses and colourful banners of arms. The state also saw the benefits of promoting a code by which young men were encouraged to train and fight for their monarch. This relationship between religion and warfare only heightened with the Arab conquest of the Holy Lands and the resulting Crusades to reclaim them for Christendom from the end of the 11th century CE. The clergy keenly promoted chivalry with the code requiring knights to swear an oath to defend the church and defenceless people.
