What were the social classes like for the knights? Just like any other ancient or medieval era, the knights were part of a social class. There were two distinct social classes. This was called the warrior aristocracy. The two groups are the knights and the nobles.
The knights were in the intermediate level in the society. Knights came from military retainers, but they were defined as military vocation. The knights were higher then the peasants, but lower than the aristocracy. Nobles on the other hand were from wealthy families, land owners, and had legal power. Which would you want to be, a knight or a noble?
