The chevalier might boast with reason to the friends who visited him that few retired captains were more snugly quartered than he in his crib in shepherd's inn.
第三个阶层是chevalier，直译是骑士精神，一般翻译成游侠骑士或者直接叫骑士。这个阶层的战士主要分两种，一种是全身锁子*的重装长*步兵，另一种是重骑兵。他们和西欧其它骑士并没有什么区别，其中多数本来就是普通封建骑士，加入圣殿骑士团后并不改变战术和武装。他们的入会仪式是发放白袍。
