In Praise of The New Knighthood

"A new Knighthood has appeared in the land of the Incarnation, a Knighthood which fights a double battle, against adversaries of flesh and blood and against the spirit of evil. I do not think it a marvellous thing that these Knights resist physical enemies with physical force, because that, I know, is not rare. But they also take up arms against forces of the spirit, against vices and demons, and that I call not only marvellous, but worthy of all the praise given to men of God....The Knight who protects his soul with the armour of Faith, as he covers his body with a coat of mail, is truly without fear and above reproach. Doubly armed, he fears neither men nor demons."

St. Bernard of Clairvoux
From his letter entitled: "In Praise of The New Knighthood"
Written in the 12th century
