I've just opened up The Book of the Courtier by Baldesar Castiglione. The author was a diplomat and Papal Nuncio to Rome in the early 1500's (the book was written in 1528) and it defines the essential virtues for those at Court. Discussing noble behaviour, the duties of a good government and the true nature of love - according to the cover blurb. Hope I learn something.
