Medieval knights


Medieval knights, were one of the most sophisticated, war machines that lived between the 12th and 17th centuries. Medieval knights pledge to serve his king in military services. In exchange to staying loyal to his king, knights would receive treasure and loot from battle. That's not all also the king would provide him his own estate and a position in the kings court. But all these things didn't come so easily. It was the duty of a medieval knight  to learn how to fight and serve his lord according to the code of chivalry. This was an extremely bloody and violent era in European and English history. The skill sets knight were required to know varied from skills in the two handed sword battles, axe, mace, dagger ,and lance. Another very important job that a knights skills would be required for would be to keep guard of the castle and to support his liege in medieval warfare.

There were only two ways of becoming a knight in the medieval area. The first way would be to be born into it, for example if your father was a knight or of royalty bloodline you were more likely have a chance to become a knight. Second way of becoming a knight would be by proving himself on the battle field by showing a great amount of bravery and loyalty towards his king.
