Christian Knighthood is a concept that has existed in literature for hundreds of years. One of the earliest examples of it is in the stories of King Arthur and his round table. Service to God was an expected part of a knight of Camelot’s duty. This idea translated to the real world events of the Crusades and the Knights of the Templar. This duty to fight for your God is less visible in our modern day society but may have been very prominent in the post WWI world that Lewis wrote these books in.
Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
This ideal begins to be represented in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe through the medieval world Narnia attempts to replicate and by Peter being given a sword by Santa Claus. It continues in this film as we see the characters train for battle against the Witch.
Prince Caspian further examines this point in the fact that Caspian, Peter, and Edmund all feel that fighting Miraz’s troops is the only way to defeat him. It is also shown in the first part of the final battle where they challenge him to a dual, a convention of knighthood.
