Abstract
In English, honor corresponds to a mark of honor, respect for a person or a deity, reverence, a sacrifice and an honorary gift, and including the one used to refer to property or a seigniory of several manors held under a baron or lord paramount in a hereditary fashion and granted originally by a king. In a similar vein, Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged includes as a 7th acceptance the idea of chastity and purity and, in its 8th acceptance, a keen sense of ethical conduct or integrity. King Alphonse X's Second Partida, is quite specific on the qualities required of carefully selected men who excel in the kingdom and become its knights and defenders: they must be strong and capable of endurance in war and battle, they must be practiced in the use of weapons, and they must show no pity towards the enemy.Keywords: honor; King Alphonse X's Second Partida; Unabridged; Webster's Third New International Dictionary
