It is the name given in the Middle Ages an armed and wandering rider who was guided by honor, loyalty, religion, and resolved lawsuits, injustices and protected the ladies in disgrace wherever he went. He was more of a literary character typical of the gesta songs until the creation of the feudal cavalry bodies (especially the Crusaders) who took them as a model, but mostly in their appearance. See gentleman, walking.
