On the other hand, the knights of the Kingdom were those who were granted a title of nobility. For example, the third son of a noble household would become a knight, since they were unable to inherit his household. However, since the Kingdom paid the knights handsomely, they only accepted those who were skilled with the sword. It was impossible with only connections even if one were noble.[2]
