a knight is a fighting man with special privileges. to become a knight a boy usually had to be of noble birth. boys were selected for knighthood at an early age. they were then sent to a castle to be trained un like u lolzzz (just joking)
The squire was the escort of a knight. I don't think promotion was automatic.
A page was a noble boy in training to be a knight and it was a stage in that process. He became a knight at the age of 21.
The training for knight took years. It began as a young boy. Noble boys were sent away from home to another noble at about age 7 to begin to train. They started as a page to the knight and as time went on they would train more and more. Finally, at 21 they would become a knight.
A knight's apprentice, also known as a squire, is a young man training to become a knight. They assist the knight in their duties, learn about chivalry and combat, and eventually undergo a ceremony to become fully recognized as a knight themselves.
The life of a knight started at a very young age. From about 7-14 years old a son of a noble would live with another noble, and learn basic strategies. This is called a page. Then at about age 14, a page would become a squire and be an apprentice to a knight. Lastly, at about the age of 21, the squire would become a knight and fight in battle.
Only male children could. The order was page @ age 7, squire @ age 10, and a knight @ 20-24. A male of noble birth could become a knight but the farthest a peasant could go is a being a squire. God Bless!!
To become a knight, a boy was normally apprenticed to a knight at about age seven. After serving seven years as a page, the boy became a squire, and after seven years as a squire, he could become a knight. There were other ways a person could become a knight, including performing some very meritorious service to a king or other person capable of elevating a person to knighthood.
A boy started training to become a knight at age of 7-14 and became a Page 14-21. After that he became a Squire which is an apprentice to a Knight. Eventually the Squire might be dubbed a knight by a King or the Knight who trained him after praying and standing vigil for an extended period.
