2012年2月23日,今天读书,看到一图,配我前面一篇日志真是合适。 图片说明:这是维多利亚时期画家Edmund Blair Leighton's intensely romantic portrayal of a dubbing,"The Accolade". The title refers to the blow on the neck-- the collee--which actually conferred knighthood. In practice this was almost always done by another knight or a lord but certainly not by a woman. 因此叶子翻译了一下说,通常这个行为总是由另外一个骑士或者领主(Lord)来做的,不会是一个妇女。 Later knighthood could only be conferred by a monarch including a female monarch(as in the painting) and the blow was made on the shoulders with a sword. 后来骑士只能够被君主包括女君主册封。
