Knights of Hell (Chevaliers de l’enfer) describe a class of demons in certain occult hierarchies. Historical grimoires rank them above lesser demons with no title but below counts, marquises, and dukes of hell. According to some demonological beliefs, they can be summoned between dawn and sunrise or between sunset and full night. The texts specify ritual processes for evocation, often attributing them with tasks of manipulation or negative influence. Their mention underscores the detailed stratification that medieval and early modern demonologists placed on infernal beings.
