[MR] Term Usage

[Charlotte Johnson]

I know that there is a lot of confusion between the terms chivalry and
courtesy, and also between the actual medieval meaning of chivalry
versus the romanticized notion of it handed down to us by the
Victorians. Perhaps you could develop and teach a class on the
differences?

Cheers,
Mathilde
