Knighthood is both a title and a state of honor. Knights are the backbone of feudal society, serving their lords as warriors and couriers. Occasionally a knight also holds a small fiefdom directly from his/her baron. Nobles are usually knighted when they are acclaimed as members of the nobility. Knights without holdings are the lowest class of nobles.
Knights are addressed as "Sir" or "Lady" (though some female knights prefer the title "Dame").
