There has been a long-standing debate about Medieval Knights. Were they chivalrous and gallant caretakers of their peasants? Or were they vicious and cruel thugs who ruled their people with an iron hand?

The answer to that question is both! But I don’t mean at the same time. Medieval Knights changed over the course of centuries and this change was more than just in their combat techniques, tactics, weapons and armor. They also changed in their attitudes of how they handled their people and how they approached forming and maintaining their lands and kingdoms.

The Early Knights

The period we consider to be the Dark Ages, which started in the 5th century with the fall of Rome, was a very dark time for all of Europe. And it was also a very dark time for the reputation of the Knight. Most of Europe was fragmented into pieces. Trade and prosperity came to a halt, plague hit the continent, and many invading armies came from both the north and the south. To make matters worse, all of Europe was fighting within itself. Small kingdoms were pitted against each other in constant war that lasted for centuries. This overall environment of difficulty, war, and poverty was the breeding ground for Knights that were cruel and unjust. It was a symptom of the times that the only code of the Knight was the code of force. Force was the way that most of the continent acted. It was the predominant way someone could gain and control power, land, wealth and people. Knights from these early centuries were probably very barbaric and bad by today’s standards.

In the 10th through 12th centuries the behavior of Knights began to change. The Catholic Church was rising in power and it was exerting its power and its tenets over people. In the early centuries many Knights, kings and lords joined with the rising power of the church with their own agendas in mind, but the tenets of the religion in as far as treating people better began to make a foothold into the continent.
