To add more flavor to the game and more of a hands on approach in the development of characters from an early age, perhaps the game can include the concept of the page and the squire. A boy could become a page at the age of 7 and he would learn court basics such as literature, music, and manners. At the age of 14, he would become a squire and would learn a bit of warfare, management, and martial life. By 21, he had the option of being knighted. There are three types of knights basically. Knight of an order (usually the Crusading orders or any other order if one is created by the lord of the realm), knight bachelor (a knight that is loyal to his lord but is not inducted into any specific order), and knight errant (a knight who goes his own way similar to a Viking adventurer after receiving the title).
