YES. In 5e, a peasant can theoretically become a noble and not just like 3 times over their entire history. Provided they followed the ancient Bretonnian custom by which they earned it, anyone can rise up. This is also around the time the Lady of the Lake was introduced, remember back when it was "For God and King"? Not the Lady? It's a system heavily biased for the trained and nourished noblemen but there's way more chances. Old Lore can be jarring if you're used to modern lore. Like how Franz was this old dude. Also, this means older peasants becoming knights didn't mean they stuck out as hard. Historically, commoners becoming nobles did happen. Older Bret lore had a large gulf as peasants were competing against people better fed and trained from birth but they definitely existed. A crappy noble can wind up on the bottom of the totem pole too. In now lore, peasants are borderline another species.
In fact, that's some stupid grimderp 6e+ Bretonnia fans almost never explain besides unmentioned lolmagic. How the fuck are the peasants so inbred when the nobles aren't? They have a society of land and peasant ownership passed through family and an inbred as shit population and noblemen having to prove themselves in combat before being worthy, yet their noblemen are inexplicably not inbred via the last surviving son of a lineage fucking his cousin-sister-mother-whatever.
>Skaven-tier baby factories because Knights Errants are known for recklessness getting themselves killed
Are Bretonnia noblewomen Skaven-tier baby factories or do Knights Errant have THAT high a survival rate? This is the kind of grimderp found in earlier WHFB editions than people like to admit. They must have a high birthrate to keep their numbers given the peasant class becoming noblemen is exceptionally rare.
