Knights became a distinct group under medieval European society. Why? |
|
Answer» Solution :From the 9th century, there were frequent localised wars among DIFFERENT factions. Amateur SOLDIERS were not sufficient. There was the need of good cavalry. Thereafter, a new section of people-the Knights grew. They were LINKED with the lords. The lord gave the knight a piece of land, i.e. fief. It extended between 1,000 and 2,000 acres or more. It also comprised a house for the knight and his family, a church and other establishments to house his dependants. The knight paid his lord a regular FEE and promised for him to fight in war. In this WAY, the knights became a distinct group in the medieval European society. |
