Thoughts on Courtly love (aka platonic love)

[Jehanne]

My understanding is that the concept of Courtly love had its origins in the Peace & True of God movement that attempted (largely unsuccessfully) to restrain High Middle Ages noble violence which later evolved into the concept of Courtly love via the romanticization of the Arthurian legends to later be mocked in Don Quixote, only to result in the Star Wars franchise a few centuries later on.
