Medieval Times: Knights and Castles
In medieval society, knights played an important role as warriors and protectors. They were often members of the nobility, and their duties included defending their lords' lands and fighting in battles. Knights were also expected to follow a strict code of chivalry, which emphasized virtues such as courage, honor, and loyalty.
While knights were skilled fighters, they also played a role in maintaining law and order. They were sometimes called upon to act as judges and mediators in disputes. In addition, knights were often involved in the administration of their lords' estates, overseeing the collection of taxes and the distribution of justice.
Knighthood was a highly respected and sought-after status in medieval society. However, it was also a costly endeavor. Knights were expected to provide their own armor and weapons, which could be quite expensive. In addition, they were often required to provide military service to their lords for a certain number of days each year, which meant they had to leave their own lands and families behind. Despite these challenges, many young men aspired to become knights and worked hard to achieve this status.
