Bishop Fulbert wrote that a knight should always keep in mind what is harmless, safe, honorable, useful, easy, and practicable for his lord.
What he means by harmless is that nothing should be allowed to be physically injurious to his lord; by safe it is that the lord's confidences should be respected and maintained; by honorable it is that the lord's honor be respected; by useful it is that he should not damage the lord's possessions; and by easy or practicable, it is that he not make difficult those things the lord finds easy, or impossible what the lord finds possible.
The vassals and knight would continue service at the king's expense.
He was a young noble boy in service to the knight and in training to become a knight. This started around age 7 or 8 and continued until full knighthood at 21.
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.
Knights would most commonly trade military service for land known as fiefs from their sprawling estates.
A knight is typically situated below the nobility, which includes barons, counts, and dukes, but above the peasants and serfs. Knights were usually granted land or fiefs in exchange for their military service to their lord or monarch.

"Bishop protects knight" suggests that the knight is on the diagonal of one of its bishops. This simply means that the knight could not be taken without then putting the attacking piece into the bishop's path. The bishop isn't actually "protecting" the knight, however; if the knight can be legally taken, then the question becomes, "Is my attacking piece worth more or less than the knight?" If, for example, I'm threatening that knight (3 points) with a pawn (1 point), then I don't care if the bishop is protecting it, because even if the bishop takes my pawn after taking that knight, I'll still be 2 points up in material after the exchange.
