Because it makes us (women) feel special. And when you get that feeling from a lady... be sure you are on the right track. In other words: when small, often silly clashes happen (and they do), you'll always have a spare ace in your favour. But be careful: don't do it with all women you know, and especially not in front of your lady. There must be only a Queen in your kindgom. ;)
Chivalry originated in two parallel developments: 1. horse-mounted cavalry which evolved to combat threats from invaders and 2. feudalism, the system of political and military relationships among European nobility.
it was an age long past back when all men had balls. it was when a individual had the ability to take a lif but u needed to be taught that just because u had the ability did not mean u had the right. it was the duty to mold a young man to lern to be proper espetialy if u were nobility as every knight was.

Knights of the Golden Circle
Another knight The Knight that the Squire is trained by, as well as, an Hereditary Knight/Baronet a Baron or Baroness a Count or Countess a Marquis or Marquise a Duke or Duchess a Royal Duke or Duchess a King/Emperor or Queen/Empress Becoming a knight was not a widely attainable goal in the medieval era. Sons of knights were eligible for the ranks of knighthood. While other young men could become knights, in theory, it was nearly impossible for them to achieve that goal, especially for those from the lowest class. Those who were destined to become knights were singled out: in boyhood, these future warriors were sent off to a castle as pages, later becoming squires. Commonly around the age of 20, knights would be admitted to their rank in a ceremony called either "dubbing" (from the French adoubement), or the "Accolade". Although these strong young men had proved their eligibility, their social status would be permanently controlled. They were expected to obey the code of chivalry at all times, though the details of what constituted chivalrous behaviour varied both regionally and over time.
Feudalism is ordered as follows. First the peasants produce goods, then the knights protect and extort the peasants, and finally the nobility and clergy survive off collections made by the knights.
Lord, land, surf, knight....Lord owns the land or the knights or both. Surf works the land for Lord. Knights protect surfs and Lords and get to eat the food the surfs work for.
Chivalry was the set of codes and morals that knights lived by, they included courtesy, generosity, valor, and dexterity in arms. Chivalry was part of their identity as knights and a sense of pride.
