Definition of courtly love - a highly conventionalized medieval tradition of love between a knight and a married noblewoman, first developed by the troubadours
The term courtly love was first popularized by Gaston Paris in 1883, and has since come under a wide variety of definitions and uses, even being dismissed as nineteenth-century romantic fiction.Its interpretation, origins and influences continue to be a matter of critical debate.ougemont also said that courtly love subscribed to the code of chivalry, and therefore a knight's loyalty was always to his King before his mistress. Edmund Reiss claimed it was also a spiritual love, but a love that had more in common with Christian love, or caritas.
