In general, the people who became knights were the sons of nobility and knights.

Technically, the king of a country could knight anybody, and everyone was eligible in that sense. There are records of people being knighted who were not members of the nobility, and there are records of women being knighted.

There is a link below to a question about women knights. Some of the women described in the answer were not members of the nobility.
