Lives Outside of Fighting

         What did knights do when they weren't in battle.  Knights were fighting a lot.  When they weren't  they had a lot of responsibilities.  Since a lot of people lived with the knights they had to provide them with everything.  Knights were farmers which they grew crops. 
         They could also be a business manager and they sold sheep fur.  Another business manager job was the cottage industry.  Being a merchant was another option that a knight could be when they weren't in battle.  This brought in a lot of cash because everyone attended the market downtown.  Also, knights could be a local judge.  This job ment that the knight would hold a court for most crimes.
