English to afrikaans meaning of

Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "ridder" is 'n man wat 'n koninklike eretitel gekry het en tipies opgelei is om te perd te veg, dikwels in pantser. In historiese terme was 'n ridder 'n lid van 'n edele klas wat 'n heer of koning gedien het as 'n berede soldaat in wapenrusting. In moderne tye word die titel van ridder dikwels as 'n eretitel deur 'n monarg of regering gegee, maar dit dui nie noodwendig aan dat die ontvanger enige militêre of ridderlike pligte of verantwoordelikhede het nie.
