Cake and ale, sir?

Michael Ward's Planet Narnia made me momentarily aspire to greater joviality and chivalrousness.

Joviality is laughter, joy, happiness, merriment, cheerfulness, not grumpy frowns.

Chivalry is strength and gentleness, power under control for a purpose, self-sacrifice, faithful obedience, martyrdom and the cross, not lazy selfishness.

I didn't jot down virtues for the other planets, but I'm sure one could come up with them.

So, Joviality is obviously Jove/Jupiter. Which planet is Chivalry?

Neil, chivalry = Mars.
