	knight. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The knight was essentially a military officer, although with the growth of feudalism the term tended to denote the holder of not only a position in the ranks of nobility but also in the ranks of landholders.
		The knight generally held his lands by military tenure; thus knight service was a military service, usually 40 days a year, normally expected by an overlord in exchange for each fief held by a knight.
		Knighthood was conferred by the overlord with the accolade (a blow, usually with the flat of the sword, on the neck or shoulder); in the later period of feudalism, the ceremony was preceded by the religious ceremony of a vigil before an altar.

		No knight banneret, says Selden, of the English custom, can be created but in the field, and that, when either the king is present, or at least his royal standard is displayed.
		The creation of bannerets is traceable, according to Selden, to the time of Edward I. Under these bannerets, he adds, divers knights bachelors and esquires usually served; and according to the number of them, the bannerets received wages.
		The last authentic instance of the creation of a knight banneret was that of John Smith, created banneret at the battle of Edgehill by Charles I. for rescuing the royal standard from the enemy.
