Within a nominally Christian world, chivalry upheld without any substantial alterations an Aryan ethics in the following things:
1) upholding the idea of the hero rather than the saint, and of the conqueror rather than of the martyr
2) regarding faithfulness and honor, rather than caritas and humbleness, as the highest virtues
3) regarding cowardice and dishonor, rather than sin, as the worst possible evil
4) ignoring or hardly putting into practice the evangelical precepts of not opposing evil and not retaliating against offenses, but rather methodically punishing unfairness and evil.
5) excluding from its ranks those who followed the Christian precept "Thou shalt not kill" to the letter.
6) refusing to love one's enemy and instead fighting him and being magnanimous only after defeating him
- Julius Evola - Revolt Against the Modern World, 298-99
