Chivalry and Tournaments

The embarrassment of a failed French chivalric meeting contrasts sharply with the establishment of England's prestigious Order of the Garter by Edward during the Black Death. Rather than heeding advice to socially distance, Edward opts for a grand tournament, showcasing his defiance and love for celebration amidst chaos. This moment not only highlights the spirit of chivalry but also sets the stage for a legacy that endures to this day.
