becoming a Knight

I'm a Paladin, a holy knight, True Paladin. This is a condensed look at becoming a knight and the eqipment they used, castles they defended. Blah blah low end just starting at 14 then you bcome a page, work your way up to a squire, then a knight, in my case a Paladin. You have to steal someone else's woman. You pledge fealty to a lord, for me that is Martin Luther. If you are a Paladin, your church is responsable for your actions, as you are forced to tithe 10 percent of yuur income to become congregrational member or backup priest. Besides raiding rival kingdoms and keeping peasants in line, the historic knight served more as a monk in his castle, having kids only to train them to be a squire and if it was a girl they would kill it. Women are selbim allowed to be knights, they instead are eligible to be paladins, which is where I come in. I bless thee, and be a g ood dagger with you on yoyr way to paladinhood. May I suggest a true paladin or a squire. If you must, become an inquisitor. Bless thee further you pledge fealty and ithe.
