What+were+a+Knight's+duties?

 A knight had many duties that he was required to do. Many of these were also reflections of the code of chivalry. A knight was required to protect and serve his liege lord, be part of the lord's army and fight bravely whenever his lord or the king needed his help. He had to be courteous to his enemies, not attack civilians and be fair to their prisoners. He was also needed to do border patrol under the service of the king and be responsible for governing land, which was called his manor.

The knights had a duty to protect the church and be respectful and loving to women.
