Young Noble boys who showed promise started knight training around 7 or 8 years old. As they approached their teens they were made Squires to a knight. Some stayed and others would leave the "program". A young man became at knight at 21. An interesting bit of trivia about knights is that they were not allowed by law to wear rings. Many of the early knights were little more than thugs for the local Nobility and were more like the mafia than the shiny knight in armour that we think of from stories. It wasn't until the Church stepped in and made the knights vow before relics of Saints that they would no long harm or kill widows, children or the elderly that some order was brought to the knighthood.

The Knights Templar had squires to serve them. Their squires differed from those of other knights, because they were not in an apprenticeship and did not normally become knights, but were just servants. Also associated with the Knights Templar were sergeants, who were members of lower social classes who served as light cavalry. They rendered military service. The Knights Templar had their own clergy as well.
Squires are the the servants of Knights. They would eat food provided in the great hall, not chew on the roof of the castle.
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.

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.
a squire is basically a knight in training, knights start as paiges (pages not certain) who were basically servants to the knights, later they became squires; usually helping knights with their gear (armor, weapons, assissting in battle), and eventually became knights
A page is typically ranked lower than a squire in the traditional feudal hierarchy. Pages were boys in training for knighthood, while squires were assistants to knights.
Squires were preparing to be knights, and part of that training was the appropriated use of weapons as they were commonly carried. They would usually have at least a dagger. But it should be remembered that medieval squires were around for five hundred years or so, and there was a lot of variation in usage in a lot of countries.
A young learning knight was often called a squire. Squires were apprentice knights who assisted experienced knights in battle and learned important skills and knowledge necessary for knighthood.
