Knights-in-training, also known as PAGES, are young boys who are in the process of learning the skills and duties of a knight. They are typically between the ages of seven and fourteen and serve as attendants to knights or lords. PAGES are taught the basics of combat, horsemanship, and courtly etiquette. They also learn how to serve at table, hunt, and perform other tasks. PAGES are an important part of the medieval court system and were essential for the successful functioning of a knight's household.
