Generally speaking: if he behaved "in a way unbecoming a Christian knight". That might vary from running away in battle, ravishing or killing a defenceless women (although that should read as 'noblewoman') to betraying the trust in any other way of his liege lord. Truth be told, it didn't happen very often.

Knighthood was usually not hereditary. This meant that technically, anyone could be made a knight. Usually, the people who trained for knighthood were sons of noble families, and so most knights were members of the nobility, but there were exceptions. Some people were not trained to be knights, but were simply given knighthood as an honor because of some great deed, and in such cases the relatives could be anyone from kings to peasants.
