7 A page was the first stage of knighthood. He would serve and do easy tasks.

Squire
14 At fourteen the page would turn into a squire. He would train for battle. He also would have higher tasks of serving the king.

Accolade
21 An accolade would train hard to become a knight. They learned how to use swords and defend themselves. If an accolade was not successful, he would not turn out to be a knight. If he was successful, he would be a knight. During the ceremony to become a knight, he had to take a bath to wash the sins off and dry himself on a bed.

Knight
21 A knight could have been knighted as young as twelve. Knights defended castles and worked for Lords.
