The specifics could vary greatly depending on the time period and cultural context.
Every knight swore an oath of fealty to his king, pledging loyalty, service, and protection. This oath, often part of the ceremonial act of knighthood, included commitments to defend the realm, uphold justice, and support the king in times of war. In return, knights were granted land or titles, ensuring a mutual obligation between the knight and the monarch. This bond was fundamental to the feudal system, reinforcing the social and political hierarchy of the time.
