I know a lot of people refer to knights and a code of Chivalry.
Just for fun here's the code of Chivalry

Chopping up a mutilating "criminals" would be covered by 3 5 7 and 10.
I would expect that because this is clearly a pre christian society there is more of a brutal feudal code where criminals and enemies are considered to be below the state and knights and there wouldn't be a one shalt not kill rider.
I mean lets be honest, when the knights went on the crusades, the code of Chivalry didn't stop them from a sporting day of dipping your sword into woman and children of your enemies. |
The part where they went through the village and dismembered the criminals was believable, although I was still unsure of how they knew who was a criminal.
I was referring to the fights in the knighting/jousting tournament. Regardless of how brutal they all are, you can't go around maiming and killing other important people without consequences.
