During the feudal period, becoming a knight typically began in childhood, around the age of seven, when a boy would be sent to serve as a page in the household of a noble. Here, he learned basic skills in horsemanship, combat, and court etiquette. At around fourteen, he would become a squire, assisting a knight and continuing his training in arms. Upon proving his valor in battle or through a ceremonial accolade, he would be formally dubbed a knight, receiving the title and privileges associated with knighthood.
