But not all is lost if he gets this trait as you can still successfully get them to become chivalric, they just loose a point on the ladder up.

or you can edit the traits file.
Well that explains it. I use my Generals Bodyguard to decimate enemy archers and peasants in nearly every battle.

On a slightly different topic, earlier today I began a battle. Unfortunately it was a bridge battle so I withdrew before anything happened. Bizarrely, my General got two Chivalrous traits including Fair Fighter

EDIT: I was outnumbered about two to one if that has any relevance.
