The word Knight stems from the old English chnit, which meant boy servant. In the feudal system of the middle ages knights were third in the hierarchy of classes. Only Kings and Lords were superior to the knight. The process to knighthood begins when a vassal, a person who works on the lord’s land, sends his son to live as a page on the Lord’s manor at approximately seven years of age. The page became the personal assistant of the lord’s wife. In turn he received training in generosity, courtesy, and all general manners. When the boy was 14 years old he began to accompany his lord in all of his duty officially becoming a squire. Seeing as the Lord was already trained in all of the Knightly skills he was the best of all teachers. The Lord taught his apprentice the skills and arts of war. The page learned how to fight on horseback and to use a sword. More importantly the knight-to-be learned the powerful concepts that would guide his life as a knight. Normally, between the ages of 18 and 21 years old the squire was allowed to be knighted. Now every ceremony was different and the oath that knights took was always unique however they did follow a similar template. This oath had one main objective, to ensure that the knight would uphold the code of Chivalry.
Chivalry is just about any positive characteristic (not physical) about a person. Honor, honesty, generosity, courtesy, valor, and so forth; all of these fit into chivalry. However one can only be considered chivalrous if they personify the majority of these qualities. One who is honest but incredibly selfish is not chivalrous. Chivalry is really just a code of conduct they are the guidelines by which a knight lived. Chivalry guides a knight in all circumstances, in both war and love. The knight from the prologue of The Canterbury Tales is the archetype for a knight.
