Knights of old were either virtuous and honest men who lived according to a code of chivalry, or a bunch of marauding looters who were lucky to get a good write up in the history books. Whatever the reality, are there some values associated with chivalry which could be applied today? We canvassed opinion among medieval experts. 1. Generosity was important. Even though knights were of a certain status in society, with servants and followers, they were expected to be generous in handing out rewards. For example, in battle a knight may take quite a lot of booty but would be expected to distribute that to followers in recognition of their service to him. 2. Mercy is one of the key concepts of chivalry. Fighting with another knight, if one offers defeat then the other should exercise mercy and be gracious in victory. The whole concept of ransoming was based on this. A knight would honour and respect a fellow knight when fighting him or when holding him captive. 3. Loyalty to the king or the nobles was absolutely crucial. That would mean abiding by the rules and recognising that there's a superior authority and in order to be chivalrous you have to be loyal to the person above you. 4. Exercise power responsibly. They didn't get rid of violence but they tried to limit it to justified causes. 5. Protect the weak. There's also a sense that the strong should protect the weak who are unable to look after themselves. 6. Justice. Seek always the path of "right", unencumbered by bias or personal interest. Recognize that the sword of justice can be a terrible thing, so it must be tempered by humanity and mercy. 7. Humility. Value first the contributions of others; do not boast of your own accomplishments, let others do this for you. Tell the deeds of others before your own, according them the renown rightfully earned through virtuous deed 8. Crusading, which is about fighting for the faith and against those who believe in Islam. 9. Wielding a very sharp implement. 10. Courtly love, between champions and ladies, which is rather inapplicable to the modern world.

Becoming a Knight:

There were only a few ways in which a person could become a knight. The first way was the normal course of action for the son of a noble:

When a boy was eight years old, he was sent to the neighboring castle where he was trained as a page. The boy was usually the son of a knight or of a member of the aristocracy. He spent most of his time strengthening his body, wrestling and riding horses. He also learned how to fight with a spear and a sword. He practiced against a wooden dummie called a quintain. It was essentially a heavy sack or dummie in the form of a human. It was hung on a wooden pole along with a shield. The young page had to hit the shield in its center. When hit, the whole structure would spin around and around. The page had to maneuver away quickly without getting hit. The young man was also taught more civilized topics. He would be taught to read and write by a schoolmaster. He could also be taught some Latin and French. The lady of the castle taught the page to sing and dance and how to behave in the king's court.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, a boy became a squire in service to a knight. His duties included dressing the knight in the morning, serving all of the knight's meals, caring for the knight's horse, and cleaning the knight's armor and weapons. He followed the knight to tournaments and assisted his lord on the battlefield. A squire also prepared himself by learning how to handle a sword and lance while wearing forty pounds of armor and riding a horse. When he was about twenty, a squire could become a knight after proving himself worthy. A lord would agree to knight him in a dubbing ceremony. The night before the ceremony, the squire would dress in a white tunic and red robes. He would then fast and pray all night for the purification of his soul. The chaplain would bless the future knight's sword and then lay it on the chapel or church's altar. Before dawn, he took a bath to show that he was pure, and he dressed in his best clothes. When dawn came, the priest would hear the young man's confession, a Catholic contrition rite. The squire would then eat breakfast. Soon the dubbing ceremony began. The outdoor ceremony took place in front of family, friends, and nobility. The squire knelt in front of the lord, who tapped the squire lightly on each shoulder with his sword and proclaimed him a knight. This was symbolic of what occurred in earlier times. In the earlier middle ages, the person doing the dubbing would actually hit the squire forcefully, knocking him over. After the dubbing, a great feast followed with music and dancing.

A young man could also become a knight for valor in combat after a battle or sometimes before a battle to help him gain courage.

but other wise is really boring

(i am really joking!!)

A medieval knight was a heavily armored and mounted warrior who belonged to the nobility and fought on horseback, often participating in tournaments and duels. In contrast, a medieval foot soldier was a common soldier who fought on foot, typically wearing lighter armor and using weapons like swords, spears, and bows. Knights were generally of higher social status and received more training in combat than foot soldiers.

His true name is Bercilak de Hautedesert, lord of a large castle. His name says he's from Hautedesert, Old French and Celtic for High Wasteland. Where that might be is unknown.

According to Wiki:

Hautdesert is thought to be in the area of Swythamley in northwest Midland, as it is in the writer's dialect area, and matches the land features described in the poem. The area is also known to have housed all of the animals hunted by Bertilak (deer, boar, fox) in the 14th century. The Green Chapel is thought to be in either Lud's Church or Wetton Mill, as these areas closely match the descriptions given by the author.

If you are referring to the game, I don't know, but if you are referring to the real thing, yes, a sword can be made of any metal or material. It's usefulness and durability would be dependent on the material used.

In Medieval times, people consumed a dish known as "frumenty," which was a type of wheat porridge often sweetened with sugar, honey, or spices. This dish was popular for its simplicity and versatility, being enjoyed by both the wealthy and common folk alike.

In 1991, Verney-Carron, a French gun manufacturer, acquired Knight Rifles, a renowned American muzzleloader gun brand. This acquisition led to an expansion of Knight Rifles' product lines and broader international distribution.

Yes, knights often provided financial support to their wives and families. This could include providing a dowry for their wives, ensuring inheritance for their children, or granting land or property. Knights were expected to protect and provide for their families, which sometimes included financial arrangements.

There are typically multiple articles in a code of conduct, with each article addressing a specific topic or principle related to behavior, ethics, or expectations within a particular organization or community. The number of articles can vary depending on the organization or entity that has issued the code of conduct.

Yes, knights were often expected to marry and have families to continue their lineage. However, their obligations to their lord and duties as a knight could sometimes make it challenging to prioritize family life. Family connections were important for a knight's social standing and alliances.

I don't think he has been knighted. He received an OBE in 2006, but that appears to be all.

The king knights a squire in a dubbing ceremony when theyre 13.

Knights wore heavy armor made of metal, often including a helmet, breastplate, gauntlets, and greaves. They carried shields and weapons such as swords, spears, and axes. Knights also often had a coat of arms and heraldry displayed on their armor and shield.

The round table symbolized equality among King Arthur's knights, signifying that all were equal in status and voice. There were no designated seats of honor, promoting a sense of unity and camaraderie among the knights. The round shape also allowed for open communication and mutual respect among all members.

The knights in "The Lady of Shalott" are fictional characters who are depicted riding gallantly on their horses through the countryside. They do not play a significant role in the poem, but their presence adds to the romantic and medieval atmosphere of the setting.

Along with the end of the feudal system and the development of gunpowder put paid to Knighthood as a military weapon. One could argue that the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 saw the end of Knights as a potent weapon.

There is no widely recognized figure named Augustinus Depaulo. It is possible that this individual is not well-known or may not exist.

A sleeveless coat worn over armor is called a gambeson. It provides padding and protection to the wearer and helps to mitigate the impact of blows during combat. Gambesons were commonly worn by knights and other armored fighters during the medieval period.

A dame (Such as Dame Maggie Smith), males are Sir (such as Sir Ian Mckellen).
