A Quote from the Tournament of the 9 Worthies booklet, Worthies III:

The Nine Worthies were the nine supreme heroes of chivalric ideals,
presented in this Tournament as they are presented by Jean de Longuyon
in his Voeux du Paon as the Neuf Preux.  They represent the Old Law in
the personages of Joshua, David and Judas Macabeus; the Pagan Law in
Hector of Troy, Alexander the Great, and Julius Caesar; and the three
champions of the New Law in Arthur, Charlemagne and Godfrey de
Bouillion.
