The term knight in literature embodies a complex blend of martial valor, chivalric duty, and symbolic authority. In medieval romance, such as that of Arthurian legends, the knight is portrayed as a noble crusader undertaking perilous quests and upholding moral virtues [1], [2], [3]. In other contexts, the word conveys not only physical prowess—illustrated by courageous feats and duels [4], [5]—but also serves as a marker of social status and personal honor, as when characters are formally recognized or ridiculed for their knighthood [6], [7]. Even in satirical or allegorical works, the knight can become a figure of witty commentary or playful re-imagination within games like chess [8], [9]. Overall, the literary knight remains a versatile icon, representing both the ideals and the ironies of a bygone era.
