euromaxx: The Truth About Germany - Knighthood

We continue our search for The Truth About Germany with roving reporter Michael Wigge. There are lots of medieval castles in Germany and in fact the middle ages are a big money spinner with medieval markets banqurts and jousting tournaments staged throughout the country. Wigge heads for a medieval market in the Rhineland to see just how well he would have made out as a knight in shining armour back in the Middle Ages

[SuperTravis898]

the true reason why germany is like this, is because of its rich medival history, if your stupid you wouldnt know about holy rome. holy rome was a medival empire that took up much of the german lands and in alot of sense can be called medival germany. thats why there is castles in german dummkopf ;)

@Agent1W Knighthood became more a title than a profession really, it’s a Roman tradition, where the higher classes would own their own armour and horse. During the Middle Ages knighthood (the title) was rewarded to certain people with good economy and social standing.

FREAKS :D:D:D

Odd that knights were big warriors, religious people, and socialites all at the same time. But of all three, their main focus is on fighting. Always getting deployed, and if not deployed, always training.

wenn man sonst nicht weiss wie man seine Freizeit verbringt ist das ne tolle sache.
