WHEN THEY WERE FOURTEEN THEY LEARNT HOW TO FIGHT AND HOW TO BEHAVE. FIRST, THEY MUST BATHE TO WASH AWAY ALL THEIR SINS. THEN THEY GET DRESSED WITH A WHITE TUNIC TO SHOW THEY ARE PURE, THEN THEY PUT A RED ROBE , WHICH MEANS THEY ARE READY TO BE WOUNDED IN GOD´S SERVICE. AFTER, THEY STAY 24 HOURS WITHOUT FOOD , AND SPEND A WHOLE NIGHT PRAYING IN THE CHURCH. AT DAWN, THEY GO TO SERVICE TO ADMIT ALL THEIR SINS. A SQUIRE HELPS THEM ON WITH THEIR ARMOUR. CHAIN MAILLE IS HARD TO PUT ON.
HIS SWORD IS BLESSED BY A PRIEST. FINALLY HE PROMISES WITH THE KING TO BE LOYAL AND BRAVE, AND TO PROTECT THE POOR AND THE WEAK. THE KING STRIKES THE KNIGHT WITH THE FLAT PART OF HIS SWORD.
WHEN A KNIGHT PUT HIS ARMOUR NOBODY COULD KNOW WHO HE WAS. EACH KNIGHT HAD HIS OWN COAT OF ARMS. THE DESIGN OF A SHIELD COULD USE UP TO FIVE COLOURS, THESE WERE PURPLE, RED, BLUE, BLACK, GREEN, GOLD AND SILVER. THESE TWO LAST COLOURS MENTIONED WERE CALLED METALS. A SIMPLE BASIC RULE WAS, NOT TO PUT A METAL ON A METAL, OR A COLOUR ON A COLOUR.
