I just finished up the book The Boy’s King Arthur. The author is Sidney Lanier. Now this book is the easier version of Le Morte D'Arthur, which is French for "the death of Arthur". In the bigger book, it goes into more detail. In my book, it touches on the main stories of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Here is a list of 10 qualities knights in the 1200s would have.
· Brave
· Help maidens
· Help the poor
· Do quests
· Be kind
· To be a knight known for his niceness
· To not be rude
· To be strong
· To destroy enemies
· To hail to the king
Knights in the 1200’s and “knights” nowadays might have some things in common, like
they both should defeat enemies. Something else that they have in common is they should
be brave.
Though many things in my list are the same, there are some differences. Modern-day
"knights" do not always make it a duty to help women, but knights of the 1200’s made
sure that if a maiden called unto them that they were there and ready to help. Also
“knights” of today don’t take the pain. If they are hurt, they get out of battle and get
healed. Knights in the 1200s were expected to take the pain like a man.
Seven qualities of a modern day knights are…
· Brave
· Help people in need
· To destroy enemies
· To be kind
· To have an education
· To stay together and work as a team
· To get along
