Hey Josh Brodesky,... learn to use the right word. It's Paiges not Pages. A page is what you turn when read the paper a paige is an assistant, helper, errand runner ---- sheesh.

Um, yeah. Don't feel like you can't be snarky about it just because you're completely wrong.

and so you are right. My Error and appology to you and all.

The Medieval Knights, Squires and Pages - Knight School! The main occupants of the Medieval Castle could be divided into two basic groups - the knights and the servants. The life of the Medieval Knights and their retinues centred around enhancing their Knightly skills in the use of weapons, horsemanship and medieval warfare. The sons of the Nobility, except those who were destined to take Holy Orders, were placed in the service of the great Lords of the land. These children were sent to live in the castle of their liege lord and commence their education and learn the skills required as a Knight. The castle served as a 'Knight School!' Strict Codes of Conduct dictated the life of a Medieval Knight and the strict etiquette of their everyday life revolved around the Code of Chivalry, courtly manners and courtly love. A knight would start their life in a castle as a Page and then move up to the role of a Squire. It was the duty of a Knight to learn how to fight and so serve their Lord according to the Code of Chivalry. Weapon practise included enhancing skills in the two-handed sword, battle axe, mace, dagger and lance.
