Q: What was the life of a knight like?

A: I didn’t really get a lot of information on this, but I can guess that it wasn’t as glamorous as you think. They were probably called to war with the king a lot, and they had to watch fellow knights die often. But besides that, they lived in the castle of their lord, were shown high respect (if they were respectful, which they were supposed to be), and were probably fawned over by the women. I also heard that they had to make a pilgrimage often to atone for their sins, because it was their job to break the sixth commandment “Thou shalt not kill”.
