What did knights do and how did someone become one?
Picture a soldier on horseback, wrapped in metal, thundering across a muddy field. We call him a knight. But here's the thing nobody tells you: a knight wasn't born sparkling and noble. He started out as a kid doing chores. Becoming a knight took years, patience, and a truly absurd amount of polishing other people's armor.
First, what was a knight actually for? A knight was basically a heavily-armored soldier who fought on horseback for a lord — the wealthy landowner he served. In exchange for land, food, and protection, the knight promised to show up and fight whenever his lord called. Think of it as the world's most demanding job, paid mostly in fields and loyalty.
