The first half of the old poem entitled, “What Are Boys Made Of,” goes like this: “ What are little boys made of? Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails, that’s what little boys are made of.” Well, I’m not quite sure what all that means, but one thing I do know is that little boys are made to be tough. They love to fight imaginary “bad guys,” and they love to win. God made them that way so as to be the protectors of their family when they become men.

Medieval knights were professional soldiers of the twelfth through the fourteenth centuries, also known as the late middle ages. Knights were usually born of nobility and were kings, princes, dukes, earls, and barons.

These young boys of nobility would begin their training as a page at around the age of 6 or 7 years.  They would receive a well rounded education which included learning to read and write, music instruction, how to care for armor and horses and the proper manners of court life.

At around the age of fourteen the young page would become known as a squire, or knight in training, for a period of seven years.  He would become a personal assistant to a knight learning all aspects of warfare as he began his entry into knighthood.

Upon the completion of his training a celebration was held with feasting and discussion of chivalry, honor, religion and courage.  During this time the young squire would swear allegiance to God and to his lord.  At the conclusion of the celebration, the young man would be knighted by the king with the tap of a sword blade on both shoulders.

The medieval knight’s code of chivalry is similar to the code that American military officers pledge as officers and gentlemen. Medieval knights were respected for their commitment to loyalty, honor, courage, and duty. They were the saviors of ladies in distress, the protectors of the innocent and defenders of the church.

In the mid-14th century, at the height of their power, knights were the medieval equivalent of modern day battle tanks. Protected by heavy armor from head to toe (with a very thickly padded garment underneath to prevent chaffing) and armed with sword and shield knights were a formidable force. They could plow through hordes of their enemies whether on foot or on horseback.

Jousting tournaments were not only a form of entertainment, but mimicked the warfare of the times.  The joust involved the knights performing various feats on horseback, armed with lances.  Knights could gain glory fighting in battle but also by participating in and winning tournaments with much less risk to their lives.

Perhaps the lives of chivalrous knights and their maidens fair have been romanticized throughout the ages, but in my opinion, our modern day world could use a lot more of the knightly traits of chivalry, loyalty, honor, courage, respect and duty.  Perhaps that’s why a medieval knight costume is a classic favorite on Halloween.
