What did a page do at the first stage of training for knighthood?

  1. He served in a lord's household as a boy, learning manners, riding and armsRespuesta correcta
  2. He rode into battle as a fully armed and mounted knight while still a child
  3. He worked in the lord's fields alongside the other villagers of the manor
  4. He carried a knight's armour on campaign and looked after his warhorses

Explicación

This first stage was domestic and educational: a boy lived with a lord's family, learned how to behave at table and in company, and began riding and handling weapons under supervision. Placing him in the battle line fails because a child at this stage had neither the strength nor the equipment for war, and years of further service came before any fighting.
