Best Answer
A knight was the lowest rank of nobility in medieval Europe. Knights were usually bound by a chivalric code in which they were asked to "Protect the weak, defenseless, helpless, and fight for the general welfare of all".

In warfare, a knight would be heavily armoured and mounted on horseback, serving as a highly effective and deadly form of heavy cavalry.
