- 1.According to the ideal, whom was a knight supposed to protect? According to documented reality, who often suffered most from medieval warfare?
- 2.Explain why "ransoming a captured knight" is a more complicated example of mercy than it first appears.
- 3.Does documenting these harsh realities mean chivalry was entirely fake? Answer and explain briefly.
- 4.Name a modern ideal that does not always match documented reality.
- 5.In four to six sentences, explain why holding both the genuine aspiration and the class-serving reality of chivalry at once is more accurate than choosing only one.
