Thee Œarly Dayze Of Hyghe Knyghtes
Madrigals befitting a Royal Court and Adventures In Noble Warfare. Strive to be stylish, elegant and sophisticated at all times.
“THEE ŒARLY DAYZE OF HYGHE KNYGHTES” is my curated selection of songs from the psychedelic sixties era that evoke Englishness, Tudor and Elizabethan Dandy’s, Kings, Queens, Lords and Lady’s, Knights in armour, Castles with a drawbridge, military decoration, thee golden age of chivalry.
Heralds and Challenges, pillaging and burning, Black Death, torture, siege warfare, Camelot, majestic tapestries, burning witches, Courtly gestures, troubadour attire, Christian Crusades, swords, jousting, dulcimers and harpsichords, gregorian chants, madrigals, monks and horses, magic and fables.
Code of Chivalry
- Nobility of service
- Death before dishonour
- Enterprise in obedience to rule
- Respect all worthy people
- Honour all those above your station
- Command obedience through respect
- Scorn those who are ignoble
- Protect the innocent
- Punish the guilty
- Courtesy to all ladies
- Battle is the test of Knighthood
- Combat is glory
- Defend your charge unto death
- War is the flowering of chivalry
- Death to all who oppose the cause
- Arts are the food of the chivalrous
- Anger blinds, a cool head wins the day
