He always followed the "code" of honor, truth, generosity, and courtesy.
He'd ridden into many battles, and won them with noble graces.
He had ridden and fought in Prussia, Lithuania, Russia, Granada, North Africa, Benamarin, Anatolia, Ayas, Attalia, Tramissene and Bey of Balat.
He always killed his enemy.
He was modest and never boring. He was true, perfect, and gentle.
He had fine equipment, and fine horses but wasn't dressed fancy. 
He wore a tunic that was smudged where his armor had rubbed on it.
He was just home from service to join their group for the trip.   

+ Wasn't dressed super nicely 
+ He had honor, courtesy, and generosity
+ Was a true, perfect, and gentle night
+ Thrice (three), gaily (nicely, happily), and render (give)

He describes him in an honorary way, and includes the fact that the Knight wins most of his battles. Chaucer describes the Knight using words like modest, noble, and sovereign. We don't use most of those words today, so it's important to know that Chaucer is describing this character in a well respected manner by using these words. There really isn't any irony used in his description, and I feel that's because Chaucer wants to portray respect for this character. ]]> 2016-10-10 14:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ogreene/xplt044yl27r/wish/129523237 ogreene https://padlet.com/ogreene/xplt044yl27r/wish/129809702 +Knight-fought for his king
