No this concept is more about self discipline and honor of character.
The knights were powerful. This code was about not using that power wrongly—raping or pillaging.
It’s purposeful and driven. To fight with meaning and good reason and to protect the weak.
The chivalric romance genre of poetry and story continued that concept into personal relationships and behavior seeking a partner. Purity toward pure woman and seeking to be worthy of her virtue. It’s something that elevates both parties and is inspired by Christianity.
But it’s not being “nice”.
To have true virtue is much harder.
Nice is people pleasing.
Kindness is about respect and valuing others and it comes from dignifying yourself.
Discipline has meaning because it’s the powerful that control and restrain themselves. If you are weak then you don’t even have a choice not to fight. But having the choice to defeat someone to slay them and deciding mercy or peace—that’s true strength and discipline.

Medieval history is very interesting and about 1000 years long. Very important to the West. It’s a great source of study.
You might enjoy a medieval or renaissance fair. They’re a lot of fun.
