The Knight is your friend?

You know those knights of old? Who wandered about the country side rescuing damsels in distress and being ever on guard against any Hunnish menace or Islamic hordes who might invade to take away the King's peace?

Okay - you're also aware that such was just the propaganda, that mostly those knights, no matter how swell personally, were there to make sure that the peasants stayed on the Lord's farm, doing the Lord's bidding and not rising up against the Lord in the name of better conditions?
You are aware that back then, the gravest offense - besides killing a Lord or any of his status - was to kill a knight, or even to resist him in anyway?

That whatever that knight ordered, the peasant must do, and to fail to do so in anyway would lead to unimaginable heartache for that peasant and his whole family?

Okay. Just wanted to share that. Seemed like it was something that needed to be said.
