The basic job of a knight was to fight. Today we more or less make them into something they weren't. They were more like a gang raiding villages, robbing people, killing, and raping women. It got so bad that the Catholic Church stepped in and had them take a vow of protecting people or face being banned from the church. This was a big deal for them because they believed that the church was in direct communication with God and without it they couldn't go to heaven.
