The declaration of the knight

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless. That is your oath. And that so you remember it. Rise a knight!

I will be kind to the weak.

I will be brave against the strong.

I will fight all who do wrong.

I will fight for those who cannot fight.

I will help those who call me for help.

I will harm no woman.

I will help my brother knight.

I will be true to my friends.

I will be faithful in love.
