This ritual consisted of the men, in the medieval Europe, behaving courteously and gallant while expressing love and admiration towards women. Practiced frequently by nobles, yet strange for married couples."The courtly lover existed to serve his lady." (Encyclopedia britannica). The affection felt was adulterous. One of the reasons was because one or both of the lovers cheated on their marriage, which at that time was seen as "the result of business interest or the seal of a power alliance."
