Storyboard Text
- Hello my fellow classmate , do you understand the topic we did in history class today? I really don't and I need someone to explain it.
- HI William, of course. You talking about the topic of becoming a knight in the medieval period, correct?
- Yes that is the topic. Our teacher was talking so fast that my brain didn't have enough time to comprehend the lesson.
- Okay, We can stop at the library on our way home and I can further explain it there since that is a quiet place and it would be better to concentrate.
- Time Skip: At the Library
- Okay so before I start I would like to know if you understand any part of it or should I start from the beginning?
- Honestly, I think it would be best if we start from the beginning so I can grasp the concept better.
- So the first thing that is needed to establish is that there are three stages of Knighthood and they are: Page, Squire and Knight. In simple terms it is basically saying that in those times you couldn't just become a knight but you would have to go through different stages of training to get there.
- Okay I see but what happened during those stages and also what requirements do I need to have to be able to move up the stages of knighthood?
- Excellent question. The first stage is a page. At the age of around six or seven, a young boy starts his way into knighthood. During this time of being a page, he is sent to a Lord's castleto be trained for knighthood. At this time of being a page he learns aboutabout horses, armor and weapons.
- Ah that makes more sense now. What about the second stage of knighthood?
- At the age of 13 or 14, that page becomes a squire. When he becomes a squire, a boy acts as a personal servant to knight, he begins to learn jousting, he assists knights in battle and he takes care of prisoners captured in battle.
- That interesting. so if I was living in that time then I would be at the right age to become a knight. Could you tell me about the third stage?
