After the lord on the social ladder came the knight. The path to
knighthood began at the age of seven, when a vassal sent his son to the
lord's house to become a page.
For seven years a page was cared for by the
women of the house, who instructed him in comportment, courtesy,
cleanliness, and religion. At 14 the page became a squire, a personal
attendant to a knight. From the knight he learned riding and all the skills
of war, as well as hunting, hawking, and other sports.
