Knights

A knight was a person who received the title of knighthood. They were brave people who were in service with the king. Knights began in the system of feudalism and all knights followed a special code called Chivalry, which promoted things like courage, honor, courtesy, justice, and readiness to help the weak. Knights were not only for military purposes, but they also did many local jobs, like working in the fields to help the people. The knights were not very important in the feudal system, the most important person in this system was the king, next were the lords and then the knights, below the knights were freemen and surfs, although later in history, knights received much more honor for their brave deeds. As you would expect, knights had armor and swords, in fact anyone who rode on a horse and wore armor was considered a knight. Knights played a very important role in the feudal system and became very famous, but what I admire most about them is their selflessness and dedication to the people of their country.
