Once the threat of foreign invasion was gone, what role did the medieval knights take on?

1. Knights of various lords banned together in unity and medieval Europe kingdoms experienced a time of peace and prosperity during the high middle ages

2. Knights became private standing armies of the lords. Lords fought each other and used their knights to terrorize peasants of neighboring fiefs to frighten them into transferring their loyalty from one lord to another.
