Although certain parts of Burckhardt’s arguments have been discarded, the work of Greenblatt and others has continued to build upon his foundation. Courtiership, anxiety, and the relationship between outward and interior identities, text and context, hybridity, and individuation are all useful concepts for constructing less monolithic understandings of early modern identities. With a European scale, this article traces early modern historiography and literary criticism from the nineteenth century to 2024 and introduces historical examples of identity formation from early modern England, France, Iberia, the Italian peninsula, and the Holy Roman Empire. The article reflects upon early modern examples of self-fashioning in the light of Burckhardt, the Annales, Greenblatt, and others who have contributed to our understanding of agency and identity up to the present day, arguing that these historians and literary scholars have worked together to answer questions that are fundamentally psychological in nature.

These values differed in time and in place and interacted with other cultural values, such as those of the European Renaissance movement. Chivalric values often greatly contrasted with reality and were not embraced or acted upon by all warriors, knights, or nobility. While there was no "chivalric code" that all knights ascribed to, it is possible to identify several core chivalric ideals which appear in numerous types of sources over time. These were loyalty to one's lord, skillful fighting on horseback (prowess), and generosity to one's men (largesse). These ideals appear somewhat consistently starting in the twelfth century in both proscriptive literature for real knights and imaginative literature and chivalric romance. European chivalric culture was transformed by tensions between courtliness and prowess and between history and legend, as well as by the rise of the early modern state and the construction of its new armies and bureaucracies. Periodization for the end of chivalry helps to shape scholarly understanding of the nature of the European Renaissance and of the early modern period itself.

His sonnets posthumously made him famous, some of which celebrated Charles V as Caesar and were part of the Renaissance of Empire. He also translated a Burgundian chivalric romance from French to Spanish at the request of his emperor. In addition, Acuña served in a variety of military campaigns in the Mediterranean, and he became a knight of the Order of Alcántara.
