My opinion - no! About knights from history.
The delights of love romanticism showed up on the tournaments of knights's, when ladies watched after duels and encouraged chosen one. To be falling in love became obligatory for a knight. Thus love often in a home-maker, in the married lady. Whether there was the question about love platonic, or not, – a question is debatable until now. From one side, falling (in literary developments) in love died sometimes, seeing each other only in the distance. But, from other side, the question quite often was about love to the stranger wife. And some connoisseurs of dark ages consider kurtuaznost' by the legalized infidelity and display of bigamii. In addition, attitude toward great ladies and prostolyudinkam was different. Solicitude and adoration behaved only to the ladies it, higher estate. For a poor knight wife rich was unattainable, although adoration from a distance – possible. With respect to loyalty, with it in Middle Ages far not all is synonymous also. Adultery was officially reprobated. Matrimonial infidelity (women) was punished burning on a fire. In knight's literature very large seat was taken by the theme of loyalty in love. But at the same time, about holiness of family repeated over and over again a clergy only. Love between the married couples quite not eliminated love out of marriage and fornications for men. Moreover, in one of literary subjects, a medieval aristocrat satisfied the usual noblewoman of tom, that between the married couples of love can not be in general. Because love requires a secret and kisses stealthily, jealousy, alarms. Official conviction of adultery combined with tem, that likings of surroundings more frequent than all were on the side of lovers, instead of the deceived married couples. The ideal of knighthood and knight's love was distant reality. The critics of knights (peasants, clergy, townspeople) laid them to the robbery, robbery of churches, oath-breaking, debauch, beating of wives, ignorance and etc Knights, in mass to it, indeed were not intellectual persons and scarcely possessed the internal culture of high level. But their emotional life was pretty bright and rich. The forms of labels of relations exposed their external ennobled even. And although ideals were incarnated in reality minimum, the important was become by to that these ideals played a considerable role in the European culture. Their influence proceeds and now. Cultural forms were created for the display of relations between floors. Created and developed. From went here: love correspondence, caring for, various tints of gallantry, voicing tender feels and high passion, gifts to the inamoratas, games of loves, love music and poetry. Love, as ideal (not necessarily realized), overpeered to divine sense, to marketability moral and aesthetic values. Certainly, forms about which the question was higher frequently were (as well as now) external, ceremonial, that generated possibility of formalization of living relations immediately. Etiquette, including in the relations of loves, and in courts, and in other, – it only one of marketabilities culture, embodiment of spiritual maintenance, when such is. Vykholoschennye forms of labels can be, and are, by the hypocritical protection of internal lack of culture. And nevertheless, on itself creation of forms of cultural (gallant) conduct, I.e. possibilities of finding out the culture of relations, – it was very important. Especially as etiquette not for nothing “estetiketom” name sometimes. Because forms of culture, its visibility (quite not only external) related to development of aesthetic sense, aesthetic and artistic taste, in general spheres of the aesthetic phenomena and, including, arts.
