How to Become a Medieval Knight
In medieval society a knight enjoyed a position of high status and often wealth, they were feared on the battlefield and known for their chivalry off it, but it took a long time and a lot of training to get there. Trained in weapons handling and horse-riding from childhood, a young man could be made a knight by the local lord he served, through exceptional bravery on the battlefield, and, at least in later times when European monarchs desperately needed funds and men of skill for their armies, the position could even be bought. In any case, a knight underwent an elaborate initiation ceremony, after which they were expected to uphold the chivalric traditions of their rank and courageously face the best-equipped and most heavily armed opponents in battle, the knights of the enemy's army.
Although there was no fixed system, age ranges varied, and some youths never qualified for the next stage, the general steps to become a medieval knight were as follows:
Page - from age 7-10 to 13, become familiar with horses, hunting and the use of mock weapons by serving a local knight, baron, or royal court.
Squire - from age 14 to 18-21, assist a full-knight, learn to use the weapons and armour of war, and improve one's general education, especially the code of chivalry.
Dubbing - When aged 18-21, the ceremony of being made a knight performed by another knight.
Service - Act as a guard for a baron and his castle, fight in wars for one's sovereign and the Church, and perform in medieval tournaments.
Training 1 - Being a Page
Most knights were probably sons of knights, but there are records of the sons of a burgess or freeman being put forward for the necessary training, as well as wealthy merchants and government officials as those classes grew in the later Middle Ages. An ordinary soldier might also be made a knight for courage on the battlefield. As warfare grew ever bigger in scale and barons increasingly preferred to send knights to do service in their place, the social background of a knight became less important during wars when a sovereign needed all the armed men they could get. Generally, though, by the 13th century CE, the idea of noble lineage and preserving knighthood as a mark of a class with restricted access had taken hold across Europe. There were exceptions, notably in France and Germany and on a case by case basis, but in the main, only the son of a knight could become one.
A knight had to be accomplished in riding a horse while carrying a shield and lance, so he needed to practise guiding his steed using only the knees and feet. He must be capable of using a long and heavy sword for a sustained period of fighting and fit enough to move around with speed while wearing heavy metal armour. A proficiency with additional weapons such as a dagger, battleaxe, mace, bow, and crossbow might come in handy, too. Accordingly, a young boy earmarked by his parents or sponsor to one day become a knight had to start training young, typically as a page from the age of 10 (or even 7 in some cases), with mock weapons and basic riding skills. A young noble was likely sent to the royal court for such training while a youth from a more modest aristocratic family would be enrolled at the local castle or that of a relative to train with the knights and men-at-arms stationed there. There they would, along with other pages, serve at table, act as stable hands, perform menial tasks, and begin the education that was to continue in earnest as a teenager.

Hi! I read this fic a WHILE ago and only recently remembered it. It was a one shot on ao3 set during season 4 where steve goes to eddie at the boathouse and i dont know why but they end up either ACTUALLY having sex or maybe PRETENDING to have sex on reefer rick’s couch and then jason and his goons show up with lucas and steve gets all bitchy and pretends like he was just having sex with nancy and he refuses to let jason get closer to see if hes telling the truth to protect nancy’s dignity so jason makes lucas take a look and lucas looks to see eddie’s face and he goes kind of wide eyed but tells jason that it was in fact nancy. I cant remember how it ends but i know that jason and the rest of them leave to find eddie somewhere else. I hope thats enough info but a probably read this at least a year ago…

Release: July 2, 1979
Lyrics:
keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
Keep thinking, ah-ah
Last night, I was taking a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave her made me shiver
'Cause he always used to look at me that way
Then I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say
"Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play"
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Oh no, no, no, no
(Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
(Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
(Ah-ha-ha) I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
I keep thinking, ah-ah
Sometimes when I'm lonely, I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder, does it have to be the same
Every time? When I see him, will it bring back all the pain?
Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name?
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Crazy 'bout his angel eyes
Angel eyes
He took my heart and now I pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Oh no, no, no, no
(Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
(Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
(Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) keep thinking
Keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes (ah-ha-ha)
Songwriter:
Keep thinking (ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Keep thinking, had to pay the price (ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Keep thinking (ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes (ah-ah-ah)
Keep thinking (ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Keep thinking, had to pay the price (ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Keep thinking (ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.
