gallant century




Gallant Century (fr. Ftes galantes) - the symbol of the era Ancien Régime, covering the time period 1661-1789, that is, from the beginning of independent rule of Louis XIV to the French Revolution.
The concept of "chivalry", which gave the name of an era, refers primarily to the relations between men and women of the aristocratic (mainly court) environment. Chivalry is translated from French means exquisite courtesy, extreme courtesy.

In XVII-XVIII centuries under gallantry implies not only an extreme degree of respect for women, but also the worship of female beauty, a kind of 'service' lady, the fulfillment of all its desires and whims.
