Originating in the Frankish Empire, they played a crucial role in medieval warfare, serving as elite warriors and protectors of feudal lords. Knights adhered to a code of chivalry, emphasizing virtues like honor and bravery. Their significance extended beyond the battlefield, as they became symbols of social prestige and ideals. Knights participated in tournaments, showcasing their skills and fostering a distinct knightly culture. As feudalism waned, the role of knights evolved, contributing to the emergence of a more centralized and professional military structure. Despite their decline with the advent of gunpowder and changes in warfare, the legacy of European knights endures in cultural narratives and romanticized depictions of medieval history.
