A long time ago, a knight was a man who fought for a king or other person of high rank. A knight always rode a horse when he fought in battle. Becoming a knight was not easy. A young man had to train hard to learn how to use a sword and ride a horse.
In stories, knights do brave things such as fight dragons and save princesses.
