16 Becoming a Knight Eight hundred years ago , a boy in England could learn to become a knight . Read about three boys who learned to be knights . 1 Dear Mother and Father , I am writing to you after my first week at my new school . There are lots of boys here in the castle . All of us are seven years old . We are busy from morning to night . We learn to ride horses . We also study fighting with swords . We learn reading and writing in class . The women in the castle teach us to play music and to dance too . I miss you . Thomas 2 To Mother and Father , Thank you for my present ! I can’t believe that I’m 13 years old today . In five years I will be a knight . First I have to work for my knight and help him fight . His name is Edmund . He’s a brave knight and an excellent fighter . I have to clean his armor and sword . I also have to look after his horse . I think I will learn how to be a good knight from him . Charles 3 To Mother and Father , Today was the best day of my life . I am so lucky that you sent me to this school ! I am eighteen years old and now I am a knight ! The lord of the castle touched me on my shoulders with his sword . Then there was a big party to celebrate . I want to be a good knight and protect my king and country . Arthur
