The [[Lady and Knight]] is a chivalric image that many of us probably know very well, though perhaps you didn't realize they come in two flavors. A staple in fiction everywhere, the [[Lady and Knight]] dynamic is at least [[Older Than Feudalism]], though no doubt that whole era of Romantic adventure stories like ''[[King Arthur]]'' and ''[[Robin Hood]]'' perpetuated it. While it is very common in works set in a Medieval era or [[Medieval European Fantasy|equivalent fantasy version]], they can pop up anywhere, but even in modern settings they are usually meant to invoke that era's ideal image of a Lady and her Knight.
