One of the most striking features of feudal society was class nature, and Europe in this period was no exception. The best ruler of a country is the king, and under him are nobles with titles such as prince, prince and son.
Knights are the lowest nobility. They are generally the second son of the family, unable to accept the title, and have less money and fewer people. How to survive is to become an excellent knight through knight education and win rewards by fighting for the king or senior nobility.
Knight education is mainly divided into three stages.
The first stage: family education stage (birth -7, 8 years old). At this stage, children are mainly educated by their mothers at home, learning some moral and religious knowledge, and how to maintain and exercise.
The second stage: etiquette education stage (7 or 8 years old-14 years old). During this period, the lower nobility will send their sons to higher aristocratic families according to the aristocratic rank, serve the upper aristocratic lords and ladies, and learn some etiquette and behavior norms in the life of serving their masters. Some knowledge is learned, such as literacy, but more is poetry, chess and so on.
The third stage: squire education stage (14 -2 1), which is the time to concentrate on learning the "seven skills of chivalry", that is, riding, swimming, throwing guns, fencing, hunting, playing chess and reciting poems. When serving the master and his wife, we should strengthen the study of the "seven skills" and swear to protect the master and his wife in case of danger. At the age of 2 1, there will be a grand ceremony of appointment. After the ceremony, you will officially become a knight by accepting the symbol of knight, such as sword or other weapons.
