#Bookworm13 The customs didn't end there. Men go up a stairway before women, and descend after them. Victorians added to this the reason that it prevents men from looking up a woman's skirt... but the custom always seemed more linked to the fact that if the man falls, he lands softly, on the woman. Or linked to the door, that you never know what enemy is chasing you up the stairs or waiting downstairs
Letting ladies go first through doors was done only because they'd get killed first if someone was waiting behind the door... You've just gotta love the knights' customs.
