Worst jobs in Middle Ages 01 The Squire

[@federicomenaguale2223]

A squire was actually a noble who was going to become a knight, then there were serveants

Thank you for sharing this. I’ve always been fascinated with history. Especially everything England. Taking care of a knight would be an honor.

The majority o f men-at-arms remained squires their entire lives, you couldn't simply apprentice to be a knight. You had to be promoted by acts of valor on the battlefield. A squire might act as a servant to a knight, but he would also have his own page, sergeant, valet or routier serving him. The knight in turn, might be acting as a servant to a noble if he was ambitious. Assisting someone with personal tasks wasn't considered degrading in the Middle Ages, it was considered a sign of trust and the fasted path to promotion and rewards.

Baldrick's descendant seems to be very smart. Unlike the others...

[@lawrencegroves8307]

This may be an equivalent to ROTC nowadays if the person in training is to become a possible combatant on the battlefield. Of course, there is so much more involved with that than just chivalry not to mention other related responsibilities like diplomacy.

Podrick is one of the most famous squire in history.
