As for "honor"? Certainly not by my definition. Nor, I would argue, the definition of the time, either.
This has nothing to do with current mores or political correctness. Their behaviour was reprehensible and repugnant by the standards of the time. They were not honourable, nor were they chivalrous. They were nasty, lazy, duplicitous, and infantile.
