Just painted my room :~}

Well there's many kinds of estates.

Like

It's not unrealistic that a knight would become owner of a farm because the previous owner died with no heirs and it defaulted back to the local feudal lord, and the lord would rather give it to the knight than take responsibility for it.

^

Yeah, your Lord would give you land, I was just saying that as a knight you weren’t likely to get it from pops, since first sons don’t become knights they become lords

Ah yeah true enough.

There's also the matter of *where* are these knights?

Are they members of a knightly brotherhood like Templars or Hospitaliers, or are they people who happen to be knights but are for all intents and purposes, still citizens of their own lands?

Because that's gonna have a dramatic effect on what kind of social status they can pull.

That's the right question to ask.

I don’t know much about Knightly brotherhood’s, this class covers the entire history of warfare so we don’t get a lot of time to talk about any one particular system,so I didn’t even consider the fact such brotherhoods existed

What

Well these knightly brotherhoods were semi to fully autonomus players in medieval politics.

At some points in history you can consider the knightly brotherhoods independant states in their own right.

Teutonic Knights existed all the way until the napoleon era.

Napoleon kicked them out, but you get the idea.

To the point the catholic church was terrified of the Knights Templar because they set up a money moving trading system that for the first time in history proved that another organization could be as rich as the Church.

Dang, what did The church do about them?

Mostly slandered them.

Made up wierd myths about their initiation rituals involving beastiality and stuff.

That's why when you hear about Templars in fiction today, they're mostly evil dudes.

Ha, the usual “evil pagan” dehumanization tactic

Hell the first crusade was a just one.

Other 13 weren't.

My favorite was "lol jk let's attack Constantinople."

But the first one was reclaiming Byzantine territory from cumans.

Then they went and did child crusades.

Child crusades?

First crusade was so poorly organized people were walking to the fucking middle east before they set a start date.

Yup.

And decided to loot the fuck out of everything on their way.

Speaking of medieval comedy in warfare.

I love how Joan of Arc's great military plan in every battle was "Okay we're at a dramatic disadvantage..... let's attack. Fuck 'em up."

And that shit actually worked.

Sometimes teenage girls manage to do things cool lol

I know but it kept working.

War is weird like that, sometimes u get rly lucky

Then you get killed by your own side.

Joan of Arc's story reads like a fucking three stooges act.

That feel when you get executed for crimes of girl #justgirlythings
