Knight

Knight was the term for a social position originating in the Middle Ages denoted by the prefix "Sir" in front of the recipient's given name.

The title was only bestowed upon those in the service of the monarch, or who had become favoured in their sights.

In the United Kingdom, knights were formalised through a ceremony in which the monarch tapped both of the recipients shoulders with a sword. (DW: Tooth and Claw)

Jousting, a martial contest between two men on horseback, was a particular favourite among knights who frequently competed in jousting tournaments. (DW: The King's Demons)
