Knights emerged in the early medieval period, around the 9th century, and their prominence continued until the late 15th century, marking roughly 600 years of their existence as a distinct social class in Europe. The institution of knighthood evolved over time, with changes in warfare, society, and politics contributing to its decline. By the Renaissance, the traditional role of knights diminished, though the concept persisted in various forms.

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.
