Later in Midievil Life a knight had to provide for his own arms, armor, horses and retainers and money-based economies became more common. Rich peasants and merchants began angling for the title of knight as well. In 13th century England, if a man was free and could take up arms and pay the "knight's fee," he was eligible to become a knight.:D Vigorously awesome.
the had a lot of power over the peasants.
A boy training to be a knight was called a "page." At a young age, typically around seven, he would begin his training in a noble household, learning basic skills, manners, and the responsibilities of knighthood. After serving as a page, he would advance to the role of "squire," where he would receive more hands-on training in combat and chivalry before ultimately being dubbed a knight.
The knight was a landowner - the peasants were invariably not. Should the King rerquire an army raised, the knights would be obligated to round up their peasants and offer them into military service.
The relationship between the knight and his peasants is the manorial system.

The duties of the Knight come from their relationship with Lords and Peasants. A knight is the lowest level of the nobility in the European Feudal system. A knight swears fealty to a more powerful lord (becoming his vassal), who swears fealty to an even higher lord, etc. The knight and his men-at-arms can then be called upon to serve in the army of the lord that he is sworn to. The Knight was also responsible for governing a land area, known as his manor. Peasants would swear fealty to the Knight and work his land. In exchange, the peasants would get to keep a portion of the fruits of their labour for themselves. The Knights' primary responsibilities on the manor were to train himself and his men-at-arms for combat, to serve his lord and to defend the peasants working his manor, and to provide justice and the rule of law to his subjects.
not alot all they got out of it was land and some peasants to boss around, and a lord to be bossed around by!
A Knight
He may be an honorary Knight of the UK but in reality he was a Roman soldier serving in Palestine. He was born in Lydda, Syria Palaestina,
Fiefs were earned by the peasants when they worked on the lord's manor. Knights were also given fiefs in return for their military work. The peasants also had to pay a church tax called a tithe, or in other words, the canon law.

A knight is typically situated below the nobility, which includes barons, counts, and dukes, but above the peasants and serfs. Knights were usually granted land or fiefs in exchange for their military service to their lord or monarch.
