"During Medieval times, becoming a knight was a method of social mobility. Beginning as a page, then moving up to squire, and finally becoming a knight. The position was one that was granted for service to a monarch, almost always for military service. Knights became their own social class, though still divided between noble and non-noble knights, and developed their own code of honour known as chivalry. Knights as a military order began to die out around the 15th Century when nations started to form professional armies. Since this time, what it means to be a knight and how one achieves this honour has changed." -

Mildly interesting that it doesn’t check out. Might be a meme to make people do logic in their heads. Or maybe it is a mistake by the meme creator. Mildly interesting possibilities.

I knew that. My comment was meant to be sarcastic.

Wiki: "In the 19th century and up to World War I, the Ottoman Empire cleared the land of Israel of its natural reserves of pine and oak trees, in order to build railways across the empire. Since it was founded the JNF (Jewish National Fund) has planted in Israel more than 185 million trees creating 280 forests, and still operates today."

Every time you post that sort of link I get a blank page.
