If the player places a chivalry tile onto a city that he has occupancy in, he may exchange one follower of his own colour for another of his own colour. For example, a Yellow regular Knight is deployed in a city. On his turn, Yellow draws and lays a chivalry tile that extends his already occupied city. He may now exchange the regular Knight in this city for another legal follower.

The idea of exchange is one of promotion or demotion. Knights who served their position well might be honoured to a higher Order. Those who neglected their duties could be stripped of their title.
