So the ceremony of Knighting was different across different cultures of the time period, but the whole "tapping the sword on each shoulder" thing was often followed by having the newly Knighted man arise, and then be slapped/punched (sometimes with an armored hand, depending on who was doing the knighting). They were then told "That is to be the last blow you receive unanswered, and so you remember who made you into a Knight."
Isn't Freemasonry tied to the Knights Templar or something? Aren't all of these guys Freemasons? Maybe they have a hazing ritual for members who reach certain ranks that involves getting socked in the face.
I was knighted when I was a kid. Once by Brad pitford in a wrestling match and another time I was knighted by an interior door.
Up until now, I had no idea I was nobility.
It's kind of like in street gangs. It's common to receive a group beating when a new member joins the gang
Interesting. I'd like to get to the bottom of this one, whether it's an Osiris ritual, warning from Chinese, or injection
