I WONDER - How Did A Person Become A Knight?

The path to knighthood was a structured process beginning in childhood. Boys started as pages at age 7, learning basic skills and social etiquette. At 14, they became squires, gaining hands-on experience in combat and serving knights. The final step was a ceremonial knighting, where they pledged to uphold chivalrous values.
