Romantic love meant to be of a purer and more intellectual nature in which a male, typically a knight, pursues a noble female in a chivalrous manner and accomplishes great deeds to woo her; the concept was often represented in medieval Western European art and literature. Not to be confused with Courtney Love, former lead vocalist of American rock band Hole and widow of Kurt Cobain.
The hangover of courtly love's idealisation of women has been both a help and a hindrance to feminism in the modern world.
