The knight (I come and do it, knight) says a soldier making mounting a horse.

Is ridder in Ritter (a liter), Dutch in caballero, German in cavaliere, Spanish in chevalier (Chevallier), Italian in French (Riddell); regard "riding on horseback" as the etymology both. English knight comes from cniht meaning "an attendant". In addition, I refer a cavalry soldier to cavalier (Cavaleir) by the current English and distinguish it from knight.

Originally the knight showed the person who had property as I offered a cavalry soldier in the military service of the ancient Roman age economically.

was the leading role of the battle, and therefore it was mental, and it was said that it was necessary, and, in the Middle Ages Europe, physical training came to give a thing having the qualification a title called the knight with superior ability.

At first I consisted of about 7 years old with a page (a page) and served the cause of the lord and continued doing work such as the odd-man-out and learned technology of the beginning that it was necessary as a knight to become a knight. Including personal care, I was in charge of and carrying around and the repair of the weapon and, about the senior knight who was the master, came to participate in a real battle when I became (an esquire) at about 14 years old. I took appointment from a lord when recognized as a full-fledged knight and got possible to hit money or a gold-plated spur at around 20 years old.

With the shoulder of the knight the ceremony of the appointment kneeled before a lord basically, and to drip with a head, a lord was the thing which I was flat and swatted of the minute hand, but when importance as the soldier of the knight faded, the ceremony of the appointment rather became complicated, and religion color and a thing such as the chivalrousness came to be emphasized, and a clergyman came to tend ed it-type, to pick quarrel.

The loyalty to be based on a Christian idea in the chivalry generally was fair, and courage, bravery, affection, generosity, courtesy, service have been assumed virtue.

The knight was not social position / rank that I was born with an appointed thing, but it was fixed at the hierarchy that had lordship by need to maintain the equipment as the knight, and it was it with the title of the person who did not have baron noble titles more than it before long at first (a knight).

After the 16th century, significance of the riding on horseback war faded by the use of firearms, and I came to tend to finish military duty by money (a military duty exemption), and the knight could put a role as the soldier away because, in addition, vast expense hung for a horse and an armor, the supply of the weapon, and it was it with pure walk of life. In the U.K., a knight is tied to a decoration system as a title to be next to a baron, an associate baron, and there is it now. The another name says, the knightage.

The honorific title to the knight says Sir (Lord) mainly. But what translate Sir with Lord is not right too much because the knight is China and the Japanese rank that are much lower in comparison with the Lord (Lord, a tayu, a person). In addition, there can be the thing that it causes mistranslation / misuse so that noble honorific title Lord is translated as Lord in the same way.

In addition, I tried own power and called the knight who changed the various places in search of romantic adventure with a journey knight.
