Education during the Middle Ages was often tied with knighthood. The system of chivalric education began in the latter part of the ninth century, reached its greatest height in the twelfth and was over by the mid- dle of the sixteenth. It was developed primarily for the sons of the nobility and consisted of apprentice- like stages,that of page and the squire, which one attained before becoming a knight. A boy became a page usually at age seven or eight, when he became attached to a lord or lady of the court and began education in the palace school in subjects such as religion, music, reading, weaponry and Latin. This period lasted until the boy ,was fourteen or fifteen, at which time the education be- came less sedentary. The young squire was taught to hunt, ride in armor and fight with the sword and battle axe as well as to observe the ritual of the Church. More than ever, he became the personal valet of his sponsoring lord. At twenty-one, this ended as the boy was knighted in an impressive ceremony. He was now officially a man, sworn to follow the perfections of the Middle Ages and fight for his lord and the Church. Although knighthood no longer exists, some of its flavor is retained in the vocation curricula of Dondero. THE MEDIEVAL PERIOD
