Courtly love was a medieval European conception of nobly expressing love, desire and admiration. Generally, courtly love was secret and between members of the noble members of society. In courtly love the lover accepts the independence of his mistress and tries to make himself worthy of her by acting bravely and honorably and by doing whatever deeds she might desire. Sexual satisfaction may not have been a goal, but the love was not entirely Platonic either, as it was based on sexual attraction.
In courtly love the knight loves a lady of higher status, the wife of his lord, a lady of higher status, usually the rich and powerful woman, and the lady is also affected by the knight. The "Lovers" in the context of courtly love do not refer to sex, but rather the act of emotional loving. In courtly love the lovers are usually star-crossed lovers who never come together and die without being together.
