Re: Origins of Knighthood: The Knights Protector of Aerdy (Score: 1) by CruelSummerLord on Sun, February 20, 2005 (User Info | Send a Message)
Maybe a slight mistake on my part. I figure that, as time went on and the ideas of 'nobility' solidified among the Aerdi, their ideas of who could become a knight changed over time. No longer could backwoods farmers join the knighthood; only men of noble blood could do so. The peasants who originally acted to save the Overking in the first place were granted noble titles and fiefs along with the titles of "knight protector". Only nobles could join the knighthood, but again the standards were very high; nobles and princes could not join the order through bribery or patronage.
