Konrad von Limpurg diangkat menjadi kesatria oleh nyonya besar dalam Kodeks Manesse (awal abad ke-14)
Kekesatriaan, atau kode kekesatriaan, adalah kode etik informal dan beragam yang berkembang antara 1170 dan 1220, yang tak pernah diputuskan atau dijelaskan dalam sebuah dokumen tunggal, yang diasosiasikan dengan institusi abad pertengahan dari sifat kesatria; perilaku kesatria dan wanita tangguh diatur oleh kode sosial kekesatriaan.[1] Gagasan kekesatriaan dipopulerisasikan dalam sastra abad pertengahan, khususnya Matter of Britain dan Matter of France. Matter of Britain berdasarkan pada Historia Regum Britanniae karya Geoffrey dari Monmouth yang memperkenalkan legenda Raja Arthur, yang ditulis pada 1130an.[2] Semua karya tersebut dianggap sebagai catatan sejarah yang akurat sampai permulaan pembelajaran modern.
