In theory, the knights were obliged to protect the serfs who worked on their manors, and to provide for them in a number of ways.

∙ 13y agoIf a knight belonged to a specific order, he might have been prevented from having a manor by the order itself. Some orders of knights required a vow of poverty, which is inconsistent with land ownership. This was true of both the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller.
Knights who were the younger sons of noblemen were very likely not to have land come to them as inheritance. This meant that they would not have manors until they had been granted them.
Also, some knights were mercenaries.

What did knights do in medieval times other then fight or protect the king?
Most knights were lords of manors. The manorial system was designed to provide for knights without having to pay them money. They got manors from the king, and owed the king support in return. As lords of manors, they often spent time managing or improving their holdings. They had professional support from stewards and reeves to do this, but some knights were quite personally involved in their manors. Since they had manors, they were able to hunt, have guests, and so on. They also visited their friends, when on pilgrimage, or traveled for other reasons.
