I'm writing this letter to answer your questions about the history of knights, and what it means to be a knight today. I hope I am able to answer all your questions, and if not write back my friend. Good luck and read on.

The life of a knight has not always been accompanied by the honor with which it is today affiliated. Only a couple hundred years ago knights were no wealthier than simple Servants. In fact, the early knights were not typically on horseback.

Today knighthood means much more. Being a Knight is synonymous with the mounted soldier, and because of the wealth necessary to equip oneself with a horse, wealth and nobility are associated with knighthood. For example, all noble male children are expected to train as knights, since we are to be the leaders of warfare in the future.

I, the third child of our lord, was sent at a young age to a neighboring Noble's lands to Train as a professional fighter. Once I became a sufficient soldier and military tactician I returned to be honored and Knighted in Dunstanburgh, my home. Along with promising to fight and die for my lord, I also pledged to follow the Code of Chivalry, and act as an example of Christian values.

I have no doubt that you can one day be a knight. Purify your heart, keep your shoulders strong, and learn everyday.
