One cannot answer what _exactly_ is Chivalric culture because a number
of cultures should be included, like French, English, German, Spanish,
Polish, and several others, as you rightly point out.  But a chivalric
camp gives a place to those who identify with one of those chivalric
cultures
more easily than with Norse, or Japanese, or Pirate, or Renaissance, or
Mongol, or Celtic, or Arabic, or any of the various others that have
made
appearances at Defender over the years.  A 13th Century English knight
has much more in common with a 12th century German and a 14th Century
French knight than he has with Norsemen or Elizabethan courtiers.
