The document summarizes the Age of Chivalry in medieval Europe between 500-1200 AD. It describes how knights became the dominant warriors, organized under feudal lords and fighting for honor through a code of chivalry. Boys as young as 7 were sent to other castles to train as pages and squires until becoming knights at age 21, spending their years developing combat skills and fighting in local wars. Literature of the time glorified knighthood through poems, but often presented an unrealistic view of relationships between knights and women, who had very limited roles and power in feudal society.
