Chapter Three: Chivalry

Chapter Three: Chivalry

The rules of courtly love, according to Andreus Capellanus:

  1. Marriage is no real excuse for not loving
  2. He who is not jealous cannot love
  3. No one can be bound by a double love
  4. It is well known that love is always increasing or decreasing
  5. That which a lover takes against the will of his beloved has no relish
  6. Boys do not love until they arrive at the age of maturity
  7. When one lover dies, a widowhood of two years is required of the survivor
  8. No one should be deprived of love without the very best of reasons
  9. No one can love unless he is impelled by the persuasion of love
  10. Love is always a stranger in the home of avarice
  11. It is not proper to love any woman whom one would be ashamed to seek to marry
  12. A true lover does not desire to embrace in love anyone except his beloved
  13. When made public love rarely endures
  14. The easy attainment of love makes it of little value; difficulty of attainment makes it prized
  15. Every lover regularly turns pale in the presence of his beloved
  16. When a lover suddenly catches sight of his beloved, his heart palpitates
  17. A new love puts to flight an old one
  18. Good character alone makes any man worthy of love
  19. If love diminishes, it quickly fails and rarely revives
  20. A man in love is always apprehensive
  21. Real jealousy always increases the feeling of love
  22. Jealousy, and therefore love, are increased when one suspects his beloved
  23. He whom the thought of love vexes eats and sleeps very little
  24. Every act of a lover ends in the thought of his beloved
  25. A true lover considers nothing good except what he thinks will please his beloved
  26. Love can deny nothing to love
  27. A lover can never have enough of the solaces of his beloved
  28. A slight presumption causes a lover to suspect his beloved
  29. A man who is vexed by too much passion usually does not love
  30. A true lover is constantly and without intermission possessed by the thought of his beloved
  31. Nothing forbids one woman being loved by two men or one man by two women
