On p. 115 it says that it takes one round to get of the ground, after an armored person suffers Knockdown. On p. 117 (Moving actions) it says two rounds. It's p. 115 thats correct.

The way that I play it, and as the rules ought to say, "The knight remains on the ground for the Melee Round in which he was knocked down,. He may get up in the next round, without any DEX roll required."

I think that the reason you misconstrued it is in the use of next round and this round.
Recall that the Movement Phase occurs AFTER the melee phase, and I wrote the rules to make it clear (fail!) that he does not rise in the same round he was knocked down, but the next one.
