In Norman England, knights were mounted warriors who played a crucial role in the feudal system established after the Norman Conquest of 1066. They were vassals to lords, serving in exchange for land and protection, and were bound by a code of chivalry that emphasized loyalty, bravery, and honor. Knights were essential for military service, helping to maintain control over territories and enforce the lord's authority. Over time, their role evolved to include administrative and social responsibilities within the feudal hierarchy.

When did knights come to England?

The first castles in England were built here and the Normans attempted to train the local English troops in fighting as mounted cavalry, with disastrous and comical results.
