Sure, people get knighted for brave deeds, but they also get knighted for service, for donating large sums to the crown (see Multi-Millionaire Guy above), for many reasons good or ill ... not to mention those cultures with the concept of hereditary knighthood. The rich guy might never have been within ten yards of a lance, never mind picking up Lance skill.[/I]

1. It was Filthy Rich at character creation...Multimillionaire was further buy in with earned CP.

2. Sadly I am not a knight! Started as a Status 2 Gentleman/Lordling. For services to the crown *cough cough Fund the Govt for about 6 months hack weeze* was made a Status 3 Landed Lord. (said fief being a strong contender for worst in the kingdom, with a current title holder who was on the other side of *energetic political discussion* and de facto behind enemy lines)
