Hey guys, a while back I found something on the internet that spoke about how to become a knight.. and the steps and what not. I thought that I had read that there were types of knights and not orders or anything, but as in if a squire was to poor to become a knight, then he would be made an honorary knight, and i thought that it had a name? I know this is kind of confusing but I was hoping that someone here would be able to point me in the right direction, or has anyone else ever heard of such a thing? Thanks
ps: i looked for the article again..but i couldn't seem to find it.. hrrm.
