Logan: Gabe, I almost died in the battle today.
Gabe: How did this happen squire?!
Logan: I was nearly trampled after I blocked an arrow with my shield.
Gabe: Well, such valiance does require reward, and after all you did save my life. I think you are ready for knighthood my boy.
Logan: Really!?
Gabe: Why yes, I believe your training is done. Not only that we are going on taking back the Holy Land soon, Pope Urban II Has recently voiced his opinions and we feel now is the time. Read this speech copied down by a scribe
"An accursed race has violently invaded the lands of the Christians. They have destroyed the churches of God or taken them for their own religion. Jerusalem is now held captive by the enemies of Christ, subject to those who do not know God – the worship of the heathen….. He who makes this holy pilgrimage shall wear the sign of the cross of the Lord on his forehead or on his breast….. If you are killed your sins will be pardoned….let those who have been fighting against their own brothers now fight lawfully against the barbarians…."

Logan: Thank you my lord! I shall always remember you.
Gabe, as will I, my young knight.
this brings us to the final step of becoming a knight, when a squire was 18 years of age he would be knighted, however a squire could be knighted before that if he showed great victory in battle
Gabe: Will you be inviting your parents to the knighting? It's a tradition in many families
Logan: I have none, my mother died of child birth and my father ran away,
Gabe: Such a shame. I shall act as your parent at the knighting service.
Logan: Thank you Gabe.
