Later in Midievil Life a knight had to provide for his own arms, armor, horses and retainers and money-based economies became more common. Rich peasants and merchants began angling for the title of knight as well.

The duties of the Knight come from their relationship with Lords and Peasants. A knight is the lowest level of the nobility in the European Feudal system. A knight swears fealty to a more powerful lord (becoming his vassal), who swears fealty to an even higher lord, etc. The knight and his men-at-arms can then be called upon to serve in the army of the lord that he is sworn to. The Knight was also responsible for governing a land area, known as his manor. Peasants would swear fealty to the Knight and work his land. In exchange, the peasants would get to keep a portion of the fruits of their labour for themselves. The Knights' primary responsibilities on the manor were to train himself and his men-at-arms for combat, to serve his lord and to defend the peasants working his manor, and to provide justice and the rule of law to his subjects.

Fiefs were earned by the peasants when they worked on the lord's manor. Knights were also given fiefs in return for their military work. The peasants also had to pay a church tax called a tithe, or in other words, the canon law.
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.
