The day a sword made you a knight

In medieval Europe, becoming a knight was not just a question of bravery: it was a veritable initiation rite, codified and sacred. The adoubement, the key moment in this social ascension, consisted in receiving a blow with the flat of thesword on the shoulder or the nape of the neck, symbolizing the transmission of honor and duty.
Prior to this ceremony, the squire had to spend an entire night in vigil, praying in a chapel, dressed in white as a symbol of purity. The knighthood itself was sometimes preceded by a ritual bath, confession and even fasting.
But did you know that the stroke of the sword was also a reminder of the pain of battle? Some ancient texts even mention blows so vigorous that they made the future knight stagger... A very physical way of saying: "You now belong to the caste of fighters. Prepare to suffer for your ideal.
