In fact, medieval accounts of Chivalric Codes are explicity based upon the 7 Virtues as found in Raymon Llull's treatises: Libre del Orde de Cauayleria (The Book of the Order of Chivalry) and in another chivalric poem by an anonymous French author called Le Ordene de Chevalrie (The Ordination of Knighthood), which was used for the actual ceremony of investiture.

The medieval Knights Code of Chivalry was entirely based upon these Virtues. The Catholic Churches expansion of 4 to 7 Virtues included the addition of "Theological" virtues: Faith, Hope and Charity. Each Virtue is represented in a number of ways: Keenan in their ‘‘Paul and Virtue Ethics.’’ The Church also included allegorical symbols of the 4 Cardinal Virtues in much of its architecture. The 7 Virtues were meant to be the counter to the 7 Deadly Sins (another Greek conception with variations back to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics) but these expanded 7 Virtues never replaced the 4 Cardinal Virtues rather the lengthier versions of virtues were only meant to "supplement" the 4 Cardinal Virtues as expressed by Jesuit scholars Daniel J. XV." Some Church leaders attempted to promote a list of 7 Virtues (later 12 Virtues were listed) in medieval times and no doubt these 7 inspired similar lists which can all be seen in early Chivalric Codes. The first explicit appearance of the 4 Cardinal Virtues in the Church was from the Roman Governor and Archbishop Ambrose (AD 330s–397) and we again see the 4 Virtues stated by Saint Augustine in his treatise: "De moribus eccl., Chap.
The Catholic Church in its earliest years framed its ethical philosophy upon the Greek and later Roman ideals which themselves were based upon the early Socratic virtues. These virtue also were impressed upon the Hebrew mind and are explicitly referred to in the Wisdom of Solomon and the 4th Book of Maccabees. The Romans adopted the 4 Cardinal Virtues as can be seen in the teachings of Cicero and also in the Meditation of Marcus Aurelius wherein the Roman Emperor refers to them as the "good" that are implicit within the human mind and should be found within each of us. The main difference between the Platonic and Stoic ideals is that the virtues are not involved with the Divine world rather they are here and now natural laws. The Stoics also built their philosophy of ethical Stoicism around the 4 Cardinal Virtues albeit with a different emphasis on Justice than is found in Plato. Later Aristotle would reassert the authority of the 4 Cardinal Virtues in his two ethical treatises: Nicomachean Ethics and the Eudemian Ethics. by the Greek philosopher Socrates and later further emphasized by Plato who explicitly stated them as: Prudence, Justice, Fortitude & Temperance in his 4th Book : Republic. The Catholic Church adopted the 4 Cardinal Virtues which were founded in 400 B.C. The foundation of medieval Chivalry is firmly founded upon Greek philosophy which was adopted by the Catholic Church in large part.
