Aquinas was - and in my opinion still is - the pre-eminent Catholic theogian. If you've got a persona that would even be vaguely interested in such things, a brief look at the Summa on topics like Just War and Tournaments (at http://www.newadvent.org/summa/304001.htm) is probably in order.

Anyone interested in Knighthood (or for that matter, any of the Peerages) could in my view do worse than have a look through the Second Part of the Second Part of the Summa, and see what Aquinas had to say about various virtues and vices.
