In medieval times the knight was attended by his squires. The knight was training these squires in the martial arts as well as court etiquette. In theory the squires would dres the knight for battle, however as the squire was also going into battle it is more likely they were dressed by the pages or common retainers.
What hardships did squires face Where did squires live What did squires eat?
squires were actually knights in training. They were Pages at the age of 7 and became Squires at the age of 14. Squires were a knights personal servant until they were 21 years old when they were dubbed a knight. Squires had to learn how to fight, dress the knight for battles and clean the knights armour. They lived with the knight in fairly wealthy houses .As for the food i do not know they were fairly well up in society, normally from familys of lords etc so i assume they ate upper middle class medieval food. In medieval they ate peacocok,dolphin, quail, dove etc (and yes it does sound disgusting but they were classified as delicasys then) and for dessert generally jelly in the shape of a castle etc to show great wealth and prosperity. I am a year 8 student studying medieval times so this is just whats in my textbook and what ive been taught.

What squire do?
Squires were really just servants of knights.each knight would have a squire for their own. the squires will later become knights when there about 21.around there.. Squires were usually the sons of knights, and often served their own fathers. Squires were more than just servants though, they assisted their masters in battle, bringing them new lances, swords, sheilds, horses, and the like; anything that was lost in battle. Squires also aided their knights in tournaments, again bringing them fresh supplies, and occasionally helping care for wounds, if the knight sustained any. Squires also helped their knights to dress, with donning mail and armour, as It was often so heavy that it could not be put on by the wearer. If the squire served well, and loyally, he would eventually be made a knight by his lord.
