3. COURTLY LOVE & CHIVALRY: ARE THEY DEAD? In the medieval time period there were rules for how people should act in relationships, as well as how to be a gentleman. The relationship rules were called rules of Courtly Love, while the rules on how to be a gentleman were referred to as Chivalry. These rules (I will show you some examples) don't necessarily relate to us today, so modern rules are needed. Find a group of 3-4 people and do the following: Create 15 rules for chivalry (how to act like a gentleman or lady) or courtly love (how to treat each other in a relationship), or create 8/7 rules about each (to equal 15) to be presented to the class next class period.
