Knights were expected to be polite, helpful, and respectful to others, especially women. Knights received either through battle or through payment, land, treasure, and castles. Knights went to battle equipped with their horse and weapon of choice for the battle field. Hey, here's a little fun fact for ya, jousting for sport and entertainment actually came from knights and their trusty steed!

Knights in action!
In medieval times, knights were almost like soldiers, they fought for something and that something was their country, the difference, horses, jousting, swords, armor, fighting in a specific religion, type of attack method and the list goes on. All knights fought under god and they were all Christians. They also fought loyally under their king. They fought with honor and pride, and those to feelings were usually a good motivation for success.
