    If you look at the definition of chivalry: from define:chivalry - Google Search
    Chivalry is a term related to the medieval institution of knighthood. It is usually associated with ideals of knightly virtues, honour and courtly love. The word comes from the French word chevalier which means knight. Also, a courtesy towards women.
    I would think that you would be able to find a lot of examples of it in that work if you will take a close look at it and study it.

    Define what you mean by Excalibur. Excalibur was the legendary sword that King Arthur pulled from a stone thereby affirming his right to be king. So I'm not sure how chivalry could be represeted "in Excalibur". There was a movie named Excalibur, but chivalry was hardly mentioned.

    The movie Excalibur is that to which I am assuming SCchick is referring. Examples of chivalry are exemplified throughout it.
