Whether you are a lover of Medieval European history, serve in the military, a martial artist, or seek to understand the legacy of the European warrior ethos and how Chivalry applies to the modern man, then this book is for you. The Chivalric Code- written by a former Marine, lifelong martial artist and theologian- accomplishes three great tasks. First, it outlines the need for a revival of Chivalry as a western warrior ethos. Second, the book surveys the various chivalric codes of the European Middle Ages, meshing them into a common list of twelve virtues. Third, the author masterfully writes a poem for each of the twelve virtues in an ancient Celtic form that not only gives reverence to the legacy of Chivalry, but aids the modern practitioner in their memorization. Whether you are a combatant on the literal battlefield, competing in martial tournaments, on the battlefield of business, or a spiritual leader- if you are looking for an authentic Knightly code to govern yourself by- you must absorb this book into your life. The Chivalric Code has been peer reviewed by some of the greatest Historical European Martial Artists (HEMA) and scholars of our time. Many of their reviews are included in the work and excerpts are given on the back cover. The Author, Jonathan Nathaniel Hayes, has spent his life as a literal and spiritual warrior. He has not only served honorably as a United States Marine, but also as an ordained minister. he is also the author of "A Mix of Mud and Stardust: The Poetry Prose and Prophecies of a Celtic Christian"And"MUSH: Leadership Lessons Learned from a Lead Dog."
