Knights Rule


Knights were one of three types of fighting men during the middle ages. The other two were Foot Soliders and Archers. They were covered in armor made out of metal or iron. No single Foot solider or Archer could stand up to any one knight. The knights were upper class, meaning wealthy. They were the wealthest out of the three groups of fighting men.
The normal way of becoming a Knight was when a boy turned eight he was sent to a neighboring castle where he was trianed to fight and taught to read and write by a school master. At the age of fifteen or sixteen the boy became a squire in service to a knight. Which ment the boy would help out the knight with dresseing, assisted him on the battlefield, and much more. To be a knight you would usually be a son of or a member to a knight.
I think knights were better than Samurias because the helped and definded the weak. And if you look back in history alot of the empires declined because of their lack to protect those in need of help. And they were curtios to all women unlike the Japenese, they didn't even believe that women has a place in the theater. And not only were they loyal to the king, they served their god at all times.
