To prepare intensely students so they may be worthy of being dubbed knights (and ladies) in the accolade ceremony in the end of the camping
Knights and noble Ladies are selected after demonstrating the depth of their faith, the complexity and purity of its ideal, and the grandeur of its art. They lived by the “Obiter dictum…” if needs must, to lay down your life ”. They were “hired men of arms” who swore allegiance to a monarch or lord, soldiers whose high morals, military ritual, and rigid code of behavior became legendary and exemplified the sense of honor and duty known as “Chivalry”.
Becoming a knight was not a widely attainable goal in the medieval era. Only the sons of a knight were eligible for the ranks of knighthood. Those who were destined to become knights were singled out: in boyhood, these future warriors were sent off to a castle as pages, later becoming squires. Commonly around the age of 20, knights would be admitted to their rank in a ceremony called either "dubbing" (from the French adoubement ), or the "Accolade."
The “accolade” is a ceremony to confer knighthood that may take many forms, including, for example, the tapping of the flat side of a sword on the shoulders of a candidate or an embrace about the neck. In the Middle Ages a part of the ceremony of investiture was known as “the Vigil” . During the Middle Ages, a squire on the night before his knighting ceremony was expected to take a cleansing bath, fast, make confession, and then hold an all-night vigil of prayer to God in the chapel, readying himself for his life as a knight. He would dress in white, which was the symbol for purity.
A squire finally became a knight at a ceremony of dubbing. This was originally a blow to the neck with the hand.
By the 13th century the blow was replaced by a tap with the sword. Often the squire’s master, or even the King, performed the dubbing. The "knight-elect" knelt in front of the monarch on a knighting-stool when the ceremony is performed. First, the monarch lays the flat side of the sword's blade onto the accolade's right shoulder. He then raises the sword gently just up over the apprentice's head and places it then on his left shoulder. The new knight then stands up after being promoted and the King or Queen presents him with the insignia of the order to which he has been appointed. The knight's sword and spurs were then fastened on, and a celebration might follow.
