Who was the rulers of the knights?
That depends on what Knights you are talking about. Are you talking about the medieval Knights in each Kingdom, the Knights of Malta, the Knights Templar? You are going to have to be a little more specific to get a meaningful answer.
How many knights were there in medieval Europe?
A guess here, about 1%. Very few were knights.
Who hired samurai?
No one really. Samurai were more akin to Knights in medieval times, fighting for honor/ their kingdom. NINJAS on the other hand were often hired as assassins by the wealthy.
Why did the Knights change their name to King Richard and The Knights?
Possibly some other group used the medieval-sounding title. There are very real dramatic Knights at the Medieval times restaurants, and it is more probable some musical group may have had the title. also what of Sir Paul Mcartney- who was Knighted by Queen Elizabeth some years ago ( do not confuse with the MBE British Empire award presented to the entire group in l966- which they later returned.
How was a peasant of medieval times affected by knights?
Knights were peasants' overlords. Peasants owed them service (they would farm and work for them) in return for their land. Peasants were effected by what kind of overlord the Knight was, whether he was fighting, meaning he was away, or saving up to go on crusade, meaning he might need more money.
What did medieval knights do to make a living?
They were nobles first and knights second so they had lands with rents as well as crops that were sold or traded. In many cases as knights they also got booty from warfare and earned more favor from the king which would give them more lands and titles.
Do knights fight alone?
Rarely. They mostly fought in groups. Even Medieval tournaments - certainly the ones before 1500 AD - were only partly the one-on-one affairs with the long lances that Hollywood shows us. Much more often is was two groups of knights with blunted weapons hacking away merrily into each other. Those blungeoned to the ground forfeited ransom money (just as in real medieval battles) and being killed or dying from your wounds in a tournament was a common occurrence.
What was a knight's religion in the middle ages?
There are two distinct meanings of the word knight. One was a heavy cavalryman, a man who would fight from horseback with heavy weapons, as opposed, for instance, to a mounted archer. So medieval writers might refer to the cavalry of an Islamic army as knights. The other meaning of knight was a man who had been knighted by a king. (In earlier times, people other than kings knighted people in some places.) This required going through specific training and, finally, ceremonies. In practice, the people who did this were normally Christian. After the Great Schism in 1054, they would have been Roman Catholic in western Europe, or Eastern Orthodox in the East. There were monastic orders of knights, and these, of course, required their knights to be of their religion. Those I am aware of were all Roman Catholic.
Who prepared medieval knights for their role?
In medieval times the knight was attended by his squires. The knight was training these squires in the martial arts as well as court etiquette. In theory the squires would dres the knight for battle, however as the squire was also going into battle it is more likely they were dressed by the pages or common retainers.
Crime and punishment of a knight in medieval times?
In medieval times, you could have been dragged out and hung, had your head chopped off, or become the king.
Were there restrictions in becoming a knight in the medieval time?
An important restriction was age because knights were forced to be in military service for 40 years or more.
What were thieves like in Medieval Times?
Thieves in medieval times were more or less the same as thieves now. They stole whatever they could pawn, use, or eat.
