It's the commendation ceremony. See here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commendation_ceremony
Our entire concept of Chivalry has been corrupted over the years by victorian romanticists and that knights could get away with many crimes and go unpunished. However there is a ceremony to stripping a knight of his rank; first the said disgraced knight is brought before a priest and his lord if he is a landed knight or the knight/priest who elevated him if he is a free knight, he is then stripped of his arms (this means armour more then weapons) and his spurs then his sword is taken away from him broken in two and laid out before him.
At seven or eight years old, a boy would be assigned to a knight as a "page," whose duties consisted mostly of upkeep of the knight's equipment and fetching things for him. Around thirteen or fourteen, he would graduate to "squire," which requires him to oversee the knight's various pages as well as assist the knight in dressing for battle or parade.
Knights fought for their land and nobles before the king was considered and only when the king paid them would they then fight for him
Knighthood training began when a boy was 8 or 9 years old. At that age he practiced archery, fencing, horsemanship and other skills needed to be a fighter. When he turned 15 he went to a castle of a friend or relative to begin formal training as a page. The older knight taught him battle techniques, how to care for horses, hunting, falconry, and how to be a gentleman. At the age of 18 a page became a squire. He was allowed to wear silver spurs and to into combat with the knight who trained him. He served as a bodyguard and carried the master's armor and shield. He had to prove himself worthy before he was made a knight. Some squires never became knights. At 21 the squires entered knighthood. The ceremony was simple and the squire knelt before his lord to be made a knight. He also got golden spurs of the knight.
The road to knighthood was a long one. A boy about 7 or 8 years old who looked like they could hold promise was picked to start training. At about 12 he became a squire for a knight and did everything from fixing armour to learning the skills he would need. At 21 he officially became a knight.
he was a noble man hope this helped :)
