Did you know that in ancient battles, it was more beneficial to capture a knight in battle, rather than kill him, because a kidnapped knight could get you a huge ransom

That makes sense. Knights were generally rich and had lots of land.

Ah, the original “PayPal” system of ancient era. It’s like they were ahead of their time, just with more swords and less security checks!

I will pretend that I understood what you just said

[darwinsfinches]

Where in Medieval Europe was this?

[tenet]

France, Britain - everywhere where there were knights
