Medieval Times

Today we learned about becoming a knight. At seven years old a boy born into a noble family would move to another castle and become a Page. At 14 years old he became a Squire. Squires practice how to battle with the help of a Knight. By 21 years old, Worthy Squires were knighted. The Lord or King picked up the young man's sword, tapped his right shoulder three times with the blade of the sword and dubbed him the title of "Sir".
