Who was the knight’s squire?

Initially, the knight’s squire was representatives of noble families. Quite often they lost income and were forced to go into the service of a richer feudal lord. The offspring of noble families were taught for 7 years. After training, they were knighted. It was a certain step in the social ladder of those times, an opportunity to express oneself. Over time, very often, they began to attract commoners for such a service. They were also taught, but it was extremely difficult to get a knighthood less zealously. And they themselves did not really want this.
