I’m skeptical of books that make chivalry look easy or purely heroic. Life in a medieval order was brutal, boring, and deeply political. That’s why I prefer historical fiction like Bernard Cornwell’s 'Grail Quest' series or 'The Saxon Stories'. The protagonist, Thomas of Hookton, isn’t a paragon, but his journey to become an archer and eventually a knight-errant during the Hundred Years’ War shows the messy reality.

The chivalry is interspersed with plague, petty lords, and the sheer, ugly grind of campaign life. It grounds the fantasy tropes in something real, making the moments of true honor feel earned, not bestowed.

My two cents: avoid anything that uses 'knightly order' as a shortcut for 'the good guys'. The most memorable ones are those with clear flaws, internal factions, and a history that isn’t spotless. They should feel like real organizations that have to pay taxes, deal with problematic members, and justify their existence to a skeptical monarchy. That grimy realism makes the moments of true heroism and sacrifice shine all the brighter. Perfection is boring; struggle is relatable.

Don't overlook 'The Tower of Fools' by Andrzej Sapkowski (first in the Hussite Trilogy). It’s historical fantasy set during the Hussite Wars. The protagonist gets entangled with all sorts of religious and secular orders—flagellants, knights, mercenaries. The depiction of chivalry is gritty, political, and often hypocritical, reflecting the chaotic, brutal period.

Sapkowski’s signature moral ambiguity is in full force. A knight’s vow might be sincere, but it’s just one force among many in a war driven by theology, nationalism, and greed. It’s a fascinating, dense read that grounds the knightly ideal in the muddy reality of 15th-century Central Europe.

For a standalone, 'The Red Knight' by Miles Cameron (already mentioned) is great, but also look at 'The Hammer and the Blade' by Paul S. Kemp. It’s a fun, adventure-focused duo story about a swordsman and a sorcerer, but the swordsman, Egil, is the last priest of a dead god and carries a very specific, grim code of honor that guides their tomb-robbing exploits.

It’s not a formal knighthood, but his rituals, oaths, and sense of duty provide a solid chivalric core to their otherwise chaotic and often humorous escapades. It’s lighter than most recommendations but has heart.

I feel like modern fantasy has moved away from straight knightly orders toward more 'special forces' or 'elite mercenary' units that serve the same narrative function. Like the Bridgeburners in 'Malazan' or the Kettrals in 'The Shadow Campaigns'. They have the same intense brotherhood, specialized training, and code of conduct, just without the 'Sir' titles and feudal trappings. Maybe that’s the evolved form of the trope for contemporary readers.

The 'Song of Dermot and the Earl' is an Anglo-Norman chronicle about the Norman invasion of Ireland. It portrays the knights involved through a chivalric lens, emphasizing their bravery, loyalty, and martial skill. It's interesting because it's applying the chivalric narrative template to a contemporary (for its time) colonial enterprise. The exploration is in how the ideology of knighthood is used to justify and glamorize conquest. The 'honorable' knight becomes the instrument of expansion, which is a darker but very real facet of how the concept was deployed.
