'''Love''' is an elusive concept and one that appears to be central
to human behaviour. Definitions of love are fairly difficult, except
to say that, to love something is to hold it in extremely high regard and to care for it greatly, sometimes so greatly as to overcome logic and common sense.

The ancient Greek philosophers defined love as having three varieties: [[agape]], [[philia]] and [[eros]], but these were not
definitions in common use in [[period]].

In [[medieval]] Europe, love was a word often used to describe many different interpersonal relationships, including the relationships of [[fealty]]. Interestingly, the word love was rarely applied to [[marriage]] (at least among the nobility) since marriage was a political and finanicial concern more than one of personal affection. It was in response to this that [[Eleanor of Aquitane]]
and [[Marie of Champagne]] first founded their [[courtly love|Courts of Love]], which would have such an effect on [[chivalry]].

The [[Society for Creative Anachronism]] places great emphasis on [[chivalry]], [[honour]] and [[courtly love]]. One cannot [[fight]]
in a [[tournament]], for example, without bearing the [[favor]] of a [[lady]] (or in some cases, a [[lord]]). Ideally, this favor would
be granted a token of love (or at least affection).

It has been said that, for a [[SCAdian]] to have a successful romantic relationship, both their loves must be introduced and get along; that is, the spouse and the Society.
