A Timeline about Knight School & The Timeline Of Kight:

  Becoming a knight wasn't easy. By the late Middle Ages, only sons of nobleman were allowed to train for the job- which took ten years or more...
All in all, it was a long and pricey process.

• At about 7-years-old, a knght to be sent to a relative's castle...without his mum or dad!
• There, he learned how to ride, use weapons and behave politely. He also worked as a page, serving at dinner and doing odd jobs.
• A page learnt to use a lance by charging at a wooden target. He had to hit the middle of the shield on the traget's crossbar......without getting thumped by the sandbag on the other end.
• At about fourteen, a page become a squire. He had to help an experienced knight and follow him into battle.
• Once a squire was eighteen on and he was ready to be knightes. He must spent the night before his knight ceremony in church, praying.
• The next day, he knelt before another knight who tapped him on the neck or shoulders with his hand or sword.
• Finally, he was given his sword spurs, which showed that he has become a knight.
