They adopted courtly love -an endless game, like jousting, subject of minstrel poetry- for the women who sometimes played a 'lordly' role during their long absences. Logistics -with new Italian 'cavalry cargo' ships- and the Muslim enemies complicated matters, the Holy Land was repeatedly won (Staufian Holy Roman emperor Friedrich II achieved a negotiated peaceful entry into Jerusalem) and -ultimately- lost again. But the introduction of fire arms and new tactics heralded the military decline of cavalry, hence knighthood, which was to survive in a romanticized 'theatrical' form. Written by KGF Vissers See less
