History[]

The age of the knights started in the 4th century and ended in the 16th century. To become a knight, 7-year-old boys born of nobility would be sent to castles to become pages. The page would then become a squire at age 14. Squires trained with swords and shields. They learned how to move in armor, chivalry, and warfare. Squires could head into battle to assist knights. They also learned how to ride horses. At age 21, during the accolade, squires were granted knighthood.
