In the 13th century, chivalry formed, throughout the West, a well-defined body that truly established itself at the center of the social structure. It appropriated the superiority and excellence that were once attached to the notion of nobility. It embodied the core values of a culture. How were the models, images, and mental representations forged that gave this body its framework and established it in this eminent position? How did the idea of nobility finally come to be combined with the idea of chivalry? These articles by Georges Duby attempt to answer these questions, along with a more general question: what is feudalism? Summary: Nobility and Chivalry Aristocratic Lineage Culture and Society
