What does «caballero andante» mean in Spanish?

• The one who in books of chivalry pretends to wander the world in search of adventure. The knight-errantry as a literary theme is prior to any manifestation of knight-errantry in practice. "The books of chivalry are prose narratives, usually of great length, which relate the adventures of an extraordinary man, the knight-errant, who wanders the world fighting against all sorts of people or monsters, against normal or magical beings, by a land most of the time exotic and fabulous, or in command of powerful armies and squads defeats and defeats countless forces of pagans or strange nations...." taken from Martín de Riquer, Prologue to Don Quixote de la Mancha (Barcelona, 1980).
