In what way were the firstborn son of a knight and the firstborn son of a serf alike?

In medieval society, a person’s family largely determined their place and work. A knight’s firstborn son was generally raised to follow his father’s role, while a serf’s son was expected to remain a serf and work as his parents did. Thus, both were expected to grow up in roles like their parents’ roles.
