Knights could hire mercenaries to replace them or pay their lord to do so, according to custom. So could other members of the nobility, although underage lords were generally exempt. Knights who were too old or infirm were very often exempt from warfare and did not have to hire a replacement. Of course, a lot depended on local laws.

What marked the ending of the Age of Knights?

Most people regard the Age of Knights ending because of the introduction of gun powder and muskets. The truth is, however, that the mounted knights were already on the way out when muskets were introduced. This was because of the Hundred Years' War, in which French knights were killed in the hundreds by archers equipped with English long bows. Such an archer could fire several arrows off in a minute, and the arrows, with points of hard steel, could penetrate the armor of a knight 200 or 300 yards off. This was devastating. The English army moved in the direction of having their knight on foot, instead of mounted, and using them to protect archers, who were very vulnerable in close fighting.
