To become a knight, a boy was normally apprenticed to a knight at about age seven. After serving seven years as a page, the boy became a squire, and after seven years as a squire, he could become a knight.

There were other ways a person could become a knight, including performing some very meritorious service to a king or other person capable of elevating a person to knighthood.
