Yeah Ivanhoe is comfy. It's where most of our stereotypes of the Middle Ages come from.

Also try Faerie Queene, by Edmund Spencer. He wrote it for Queen Elizabeth, and it's super cool. It has the quirky "ye olde" vibe taken to an intentionally hyperbolised extreme, and it's about knights undertaking thematic quests about virtues while dealing with dragons, and monsters, and wizards, and ancient pagan gods.

Oh almost forgot two more:

>Orlando Furioso
Really long and may be difficult to get though, but very influential book to every other knight-book that came after it.

>The Nonexistent Knight.
If you're looking for something postmodern.

>how would a knight write a love letter to a lady?
In Middle English

The legend of st Julian hospitaller by guastave Flaubert it is a short story only twenty pages but it packs a punch. Really cathartic ending.
