More than 1,000 years ago, a class of professional warriors arose, who swore oaths of loyalty to noble lords and fought to the death to defend in battle.

was a knight in shining armor named Rahmir, who entered a new country called Carrington. The knight had travelled for two days to reach the new country that, rumor was, he was expelled from for killing an innocent townsman. There was also a beautiful princess named Christina, that this knight had fallen in love with, and a ruthless king of this country. The knight’s background led to the king’s conjecture that the knight was a horrendous man. Although the king thought this way about the knight,…

Becoming a knight is not an easy task, and for some people it is impossible because of the family they were born into. A typical knight must be of noble birth, brave, and first be a squire. However, in some cases people do not follow the tradition path to knighthood. This can be seen with William Thatcher and Don Quixote. Unrealistic traits and factors on the journey in becoming a knight can be seen in both A Knight’s Tale and Don Quixote, but the way the characters deal with these obstacles…

A chivalric code is a set of moral rules, that a knight vows to follow and enforce during the Middle Ages. A knight of the Medieval period is flawed, but by following the code he can be unsullied. According to the “Song of Roland”, a knight must “serve the liege lord “in valour and faith, at all time speak the truth, refrain from the wanton giving of offense, and to respect the honour of women” by following these codes a knight can stay on the right tracks to stay morally correct. In “The Wife…

Who Would Win in a battle between a Samurai and a Knight? Knights and Samurai are interesting people to look into. They’re both warriors and loyal people. But do you ever wonder who would in a battle? I personally stand out of the crowd with a few people and believe that knights will win in a battle and this can be seen in their training, weapons and armor, and codes. The first way that knights have an advantage is heavy armor. According to document d, it says “A knight’s armor can weigh 40 to…

Medieval knights lived their lives to the max, filled with thrill and adventure. Becoming a knight took years of work and dedication. Around the age of seven, young boys…

Makai Knights, a loveable Alchemist, and the Slow-Cooking Presentation Notwithstanding, Garo is not a good description of the Makai Knights in general, these noble warriors serve deities who are neither lovable nor efficient. I appreciated the conflicting nature of these Knights: Sworn to never use their power against normal humans, these Knights oddly enough use the same power of the horrors in their armor that they fight against. Not to say Garo convolutes morality in this world, only which…
