A thought from a Knight, for tonight

-A thought from a Knight, for tonight-

When you think of the word Knight, you think of Honor, Loyalty, or more simple put, Chivalry. I don't think of any of those words. Why? Because most Knight's didn't live by that Code. When I think of a Knight, I think of one person: Roland. Roland was the Chief Paladin under Charlemagne, Father of the Holy Roman Empire.

The reason Roland is the best example of a Knight is because of what he stood for. In his own words he said:

"We know our duty: to stand here for our king.
A man must bear some hardships for his lord,
stand everything, the great heat, the great cold,
lose the hide and hair on him for his good lord.
Now let each man make sure to strike hard here:
let them not sing a bad song about us."

Could you imagine if Christians took that kind of stand. Just a thought.

Until then,
Jon
