Knights emerged in the early Middle Ages, around the 9th century, primarily in Western Europe. They became prominent during the feudal system, reaching their peak in the 12th to 15th centuries. The role of knights began to decline in the late 15th century with the advent of gunpowder and changes in military tactics, though the concept of knighthood persists in modern ceremonial forms.
Medieval Times
In 1066, the number of knights in England was relatively small compared to the total population, estimated to be around 5,000 to 10,000 knights. The feudal system was in its early stages, and knights were primarily vassals to the nobility, serving in exchange for land. Following the Norman Conquest, the number of knights increased as William the Conqueror distributed land to his followers, leading to a more structured knightly class in England.
