What happened when knights got married?

Answer 1

A knight could choose who he wanted to marry as long as she was within his social class. The girl has no choice and could be as young as seven or eight years old. Generally the knight would get the girl's dowry, and she had to wed him, since back hen, you didn't pick a wife- you picked a father-in-law. They would be married in the church and he would acquire all of her inheritance (if she had any). Then, they were expected to have children that would carry on the family name. They were considered unlucky if they had no sons. The lady's sole purpose was to give the knight children, money, and land.
