Well, chivalry is a later development than the Old 
Testament.  And surely, there are many cultures who did 
not regard chivalry as important.

If you're asking is it OK to do bardic performances about 
heroes (like Gideon, from the Book of Judges) who are not 
especially chivalrous in their exploits, I say yes, 
absolutley.

But I knew a norseman once who aspired to knighthood, and 
I told him never to let his persona be an excuse for 
unchivalrous behavior.
