> Disciplina clericalis is a book by Petrus Alphonsi. Written in Latin at the beginning of the 12th century, it is a collection of 33 fables and tales and is the oldest European book of its kind.
> Then, the accomplishments are: Riding, swimming, archery, boxing, the chase, chess, writing verse. The virtues (industriae) are: not to be a glutton, a drunkard, a sybarite, not to be given to violence, to lying, covetous, and of evil life." The disciple: "At the present time I do not believe there is any man of this kind."
I’ve applied for almost 120 knight jobs in the last two years. Several of them require 30 years experience at both swimming and poetry, which is absurd. It’s possible I’m being rejected due to my drunkard status tbh.
> Peter Alfonsi, in his work Disciplina Clericalis, listed chess among the seven skills that a good knight must acquire.
