When a boy born by a knight turns six or seven he is sent from his home to a near by castle. here he is trained by the lord of the castle to become a knight. He is a page. A page helps his lord dress and put on armor. hen his lord's armor was rusty, the page rolled the armor in a barrel of sand so that the rust was gone. He was taught to be quick, graceful, and flexible. He received religious training from the chaplain. He sometimes received training-in-arms from the squires. If the page showed promise, then at the age of fourteen, he became a squire. A squire is a Knight's personal servant. In battle, a squire would bring his knight replacements of lances, swords, horses, or any item lost or damaged in battle. The squire had to become accustomed to heavy armor. A squire played games with real weapons against real knights! The squire learned to ride his war horse while keeping his weapon arm free. When the knight was dubbed by the king, he was now an official Knight.

Yes. As a citizen of a country that still has royalty - I could conceivably still become a knight. This is more than just an intellectual exercise. People are still becoming knight to this day.
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.
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.

The first step to becoming a knight was to spend about seven years as a page, a young apprentice in the service of a knight who trained him. The page was usually seven to fourteen years old. After being a page, the apprentice graduated to a higher level, and spent seven years as a squire.
The second stage of becoming a knight typically involved training as a squire after serving as a page. As a squire, a young nobleman would learn the skills of warfare, horsemanship, and chivalry under the guidance of a knight. This stage was crucial for developing practical abilities and understanding the responsibilities of knighthood before being formally dubbed a knight in the final stage.
A squire learns skills such as combat training, horsemanship, and chivalry before becoming a knight. This training is important for a knight as it ensures they are well-prepared for battle, capable of protecting themselves and others, and uphold the code of chivalry in their service.
