What was a girl knight called in the middle ages?
AnswerThere was no such thing as a woman knight. Women had no rights and were considered too weak and unintelligent to do things like that. Women were told by men how to live and what to do. AnswerIn English, a woman who was the wife of a knight was called Lady, but a woman who had the status of knighthood in her own right was called Dame. Dame Judy Dench is a modern example. The usage, however, is medieval. There was similar usage in French, as there were two different feminine forms of "chevalier," one for the wife, and one for a female knight. There were women who were knights, and there was at least one order of knights entirely made up of women who had distinguished themselves in combat.Please see the link below to the related question, "Could women be knights in the medieval times?"
