The Path to Knighthood
Knights are commonly picked because they are the sons of nobles or other knights, and apprenticed to a noble as a page. They learn manners and languages like Latin and French, and basic arithmetic. They learn how to ride a horse and basic weapon skills. At the age of fifteen they are allowed to become a squire while they get apprenticed to a knight as a squire. They learn better handling and they learn how to joust and swordfight. They help the knight for when they are jousting with another knight by handing them new weapons when they joust. Many squires do not make it past this stage, but those that do are allowed to become knights at the age of twenty-one. They go through a ritual ceremony when they are ready to be knighted, they have to protect the church for a whole knight looking out and keeping guard. Then they have to go through a ritual bathing. Then they go through the actual ceremony where they are lectured on the duties of a knight and lastly they are dubbed. The knight would then be free to protect their own land and to do as they wished.
Jousting
Jousting was an act that knights would do regularly to prove their dominance and power. There were two knights on horseback with lances (long pointy sticks) that would try to charge at each other and knock the other person off their horse while trying to stay on themselves. The winner would be able to get the loser’s armor or horse or whatever they desired. Each knight would be able to have three different lances in a joust, if they broke all of them they would lose the joust. Each knight would have a squire who would be in charge to pick up the broken weapons and give their knight the new ones. This was a violent pastime that could sometimes be fatal.
Mitch, an awkward yet aspiring boy, goes on an epic adventure to reach knighthood in this film of the century. Through being a page and a squire, he has learned many things, and to become a knight, he would have to prove his worth and apply his knowledge to the challenges that his mentor faces him with. Also, there’s a lot of random singing!
Here are the lyrics to the songs in the video.
Lyrics to “Silver Knight” (Billionaire by Travie McCoy)
I wanna be a knight too much to wait
Pull shining swords out of a sheath uh
I wanna protect some land for my mentor’s lord
Scare off all the barbarians they’d love me
[Chorus]
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my sword all sharp and bright
A different weapon every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I’m a silver knight
Yeah I would meet up with the king uh
Drink some beer and mead yeah uh
Everyday Michaelmas
Don’t forget to get a sharp sword
I’d probably be above the peasants
And below the lords on the pyramid
Give away a few horses like “Here lady have this”
And last but not least grant somebody their knighthood
It’s been a couple months since I’ve waited so
You tell me to wait but I won’t listen oh no
I’d probably visit where the plague hit
And for sure do a lot more than doctors did
Yeah can’t forget about me stupid
Everywhere I go I have my own theme music
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my sword all sharp and bright
A different weapon every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I’m a silver knight
Oooh oooh
For when I’m a silver knight
Oooh oooh
For when I’m a silver knight
I’ll be playing skittles with the monarch oh
Knocking over his main pin
Then I’ll compliment him on his political etiquette
Throw a sword up in the air for the heck of it
But keep the knives sharp and bronze, completely separate
And yeah I’ll be in a whole feudal class
Third place put I can take it
Take whatever I could get and not throw a fit
So I would fight for the peasants
Not a single serf around me would know what scared was
Eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go look in your sheath take out your knife
And throw it in the air and sing
I wanna be a knight too much to wait
Pull shining swords out of a sheath oh
I wanna protect some land for my mentor’s lord
Scaring off the barbarians they’d love me
Oh every time I close my eyes
I’d see my sword all sharp and bright
A different weapon every night oh oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I’m a silver knight
I wanna be a knight too much to wait!
Lyrics for “Party on the Mountain Top” (Party in the U.S.A. by Miley Cyrus)
I hit to the road to the mountain top
With a dream of knighthood ahead
Welcome to the land of knighthood yes (woah)
Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped to my feet
Here I am to fight for my own knight
Look to my right and I see the Sir Dancealot sign
This is all so crazy
I know I am so amazing
My tummy’s not turning and my sword is unsheathed
Too much pressure oh not a chance
That’s when the knight hood bro turned on the voice
and Dynamite song was on
and Dynamite song was on
and Dynamite song was on!
[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
I’m gonna move on,
And the confetti’s all for me
Holding my shield like yeah
Slicing my sword like yeah
So I put my hands up
I’m gonna move on
I know I’m better than okay
Yeah, it’s a party on a mountain top
Yeah, it’s a party on a mountain top
Hit on the road meet Sir Ohsnap
Things are getting tougher now
Like “Who’s that guy, his head’s on the fly”
I’m definitely going to beat him now
So easy I’m going all breezy
It’s definitely an easy party
Cause all I see is a bright flash
I’m going for all the big cash
My tummy’s not turning and my sword is unsheathed
Too much pressure oh not a chance
That’s when the second Sir started singing a favorite tune
and a Singing song was on
and a Singing song was on
and a Singing song was on!
[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
I’m gonna move on
And the confetti’s all for me
Holding my shield like yeah
Slicing my sword like yeah
So I put my hands up
I’m gonna move on
And I’m better than okay
Yeah, it’s a party on a mountain top
Yeah, it’s a party on a mountain top
Feel like hopping up and down (up and down)
Back to the church tonight (church tonight)
Something stops me everytime (everytime)
The knights start singing random songs and I feel alright!
[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
I’m gonna move on
And the confetti’s all for me
Holding my shield like yeah (holding my shield)
Slicing my sword like yeah (ooh yeah)
So I put my hands up
I’m gonna move on
And I’m better than okay (better than okay)
Yeah (huh huh), it’s a party on a mountain top (yeah)
Yeah, it’s a party on a mountain top
So I put my hands up
I’m gonna move on
And the confetti’s all for me, (all for me)
Holding my shield like yeah (holding my shield)
Slicing my sword like yeah (ooh yeah)
So I put my hands up
I’m gonna move on
And I’m better than okay (better than okay)
Yeah (huh huh), it’s a party on a mountain top (yeah)
Yeah, it’s a party on a mountain top
Mountain top!
Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that’s alright
Welcome to my silly life
Miss ‘No way, it’s all good’
It didn’t slow me down.
Mistaken, never second guessing
Page, squire, look I’m still around
Like I’ve made it, to my Knighthood
Pretty, pretty please, I feel awesome all the time
Like I’ve made it, to my Knighthood (yippee)
For my knighthood, I sang you a song.
Change the voices in your head
Make them like easy instead.
So complicated,
Look happy, I made it,
Filled with so much agony
Such a tiring occupation
It’s enough, I’ve trained all I can think of
Chased down all the lances
I’d like to see you do the same
(Ohh ohhhhhhh)
Pretty, pretty please, I feel awesome all the time
Like I’ve made it, to my knighthood
Pretty, pretty please, I feel awesome all the time
Like I’ve made it, to my knighthood (yippee)
The whole world’s scared, so I swallow the fear
I’ve trained Mitch hard while drinking some ice cold beer
He’s so cool on line, but he doesn’t try, try, try, he doesn’t try too hard,
And he’s a waste of my time.
Done looking for the flaws, cause they’re everywhere
Knights don’t wear jeans, and they have long hair
Scream at ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that (why do I do that)?
(Yeah!)
I’m pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty please, I feel awesome all the time
Like I’ve made it, to my knighthood
Pretty, pretty please, I feel awesome all the time
Like I’ve made it, to my knighthood
(You’re awesome, I know that)
Pretty, pretty please, I feel awesome all the time
Like I’ve made it, to my knighthood
Pretty, pretty please, I feel awesome all the time
Like I’ve made it, to my knighthood (yippee)
