A knight was the backbone of Medieval warfare. He was he equivalent of tanks, today, providing speed and shock.
A boy would usually serve as a Squire (knight's assistant) until around 21 years old. If chosen for knighthood, he usually went thru' a religious Vigil, and specific instruction of How to Be a Knight. On the day, he was presented to another knight or lord, or his king. The actual ceremony of dubbing had the prospective knight kneeling, and being struck (lightly) on the shoulder with the flat of a sword, and being proclaimed Knight. In later days, knighting was the exclusive right of the king.
On occasion, a soldier or squire would so distinguish himself on the field of battle, that he would be knighted virtually on the spot. The modern equivalent is a "battlefield commission," where an enlisted man is made an officer.
