The history of Bretonnia is replete with tales of honour and glory, and no tales are more glorious than those of Gilles and his knightly Companions. Each of these knights represented the pinnacle of chivalry and exemplified a particular knightly virtue, and every knight since has sought to emulate the virtue of one of these bold heroes.
To represent this, some models may be given a Knightly Virtue. A Virtue does not affect a model's mount (should it have one). Each Virtue may only be chosen once per army.
