SilentSwordsmaster's Questions: Tsuykunomi

People who claim Command Knight is male go on about how only males are knights. They fail to consider translation errors and/or different meanings of the word in foreign languages.

I say she's female, because look at the face and the breastplate.
 
During the 14th century the term Knight became attached to cavalry.

That is to say, if she wears armor and rides a horse she is a knight.

Yes, some woman actually did fight battles in many societies, even in the renaissance.

From the pages of Encarta:

Knighthood is not a title of nobility, but is conferred by the royal sovereign (upon recommendation of the government) on commoners and nobles alike for civil or military achievements. A knight is addressed with the title Sir (e.g., Sir John); a woman, if knighted in her own right, is addressed as Dame. Therefore, a KNIGHT could be either male or female, the difference is the way they are addressed. END OF DISCUSSION?
