Touching the sword to the back of the knights' necks during the ceremony of knighthood symbolized the transition from a squire to a knight. This act, known as the "accolade," represented the knight's acceptance of their new responsibilities, including loyalty, honor, and service. It also served as a reminder of the weight of their duties and the potential consequences of failure in their role as protectors of the realm.
