The Everyday Knight

This is the second half of our discussion of Chivalry in Westeros, the world of Game of Thrones. As we strive to include the Chivalric Virtues in our everyday lives, George RR Martin brings us modern examples of chivalry, both good and bad, that we can point to for a modern audience.

We all love sword movies, right? Whether its knights, barbarians, cavaliers or samurai. Even (especially?) when they include dragons or wizards. Most of us who have pursued historic reenactment have to come to our love through cinema as much as historical reading.

We decided it would be fun to reminisce about our favorites, both the best AND the worst! Join us for a fun trip and be sure to add any that we no doubt missed in the comments!
