Chivalry

An idea developed first by Queen Eleanor of England. Basically, it encouraged gentelmenly behavior between knights, and proposed a system of courting ladies to gain their hearts instead of dragging them home by their hair (sarcasm).

The White Knight very politely sliced his opponents head off and carried it back to his lady. He slept on the couch that night.
