Well, ya know, BUYING the knighthood was the period way to
do it, after all...
Which in later times led to bidding, buying, and bestowing
military and even clergy appointments. A very capitalist
country was England.
The bestowing of a knighthood on a worthy person by the
King or Queen is a fairly modern notion.
Just a ha'penny's worth of trivia...
