Women normally weren`t trained to fight. well. knights lived in the Middle Ages from between 1000 A.D. to about 1500 A.D. Most knights cam from noble families, some were rich and powerful that lived in splendid castles, but some were rather poor. Kings and princes were trained as knights too but at the end of the Middle Ages, some knights became soldiers, fighting for anyone who would pay. It was a knights duty to fight bravely whenever the king needed his help, but knights had other duties too. They were expected to be courteous to their enemies, treat prisoners humanely, not attack civilians and protect the Church. During wartime, theses rules were often ignored. Knights were meant to respecting and loving to women.
