Ritter

In ancient Rome, there were knights (equites) who were of a rank similar to that of the nobility, but the word generally refers to medieval warriors in Western Europe, and is used as a translation of the French word chevalier, the German word Ritter, and the English word knight. Semantically, the first two refer to a rider, and the latter to an attendant.
