Best Answer

A knights training started as a page around age 7. A page was a servant to a knight, and would run errands, carry messages, and do menial tasks like polishing armor and weapons. The page would receive instruction in areas such as manners, heraldry, horsemanship, and perhaps the rudiments of weapons.

After seven years, around the age of fourteen, a page became a squire. A squire had more advanced duties. The squire would help his knight arm and don armor, was responsible for his weapons and horses, would carry his knight's banner. The squire was responsible for rescuing the knight if captured, ransoming him if that was not possible, and seeing to his honorable burial if necessary.

After an additional seven years as a squire could potentially become a knight, but the advance was not automatic. Not all individuals had the inclination for a for a military life, and some remained squires. As the middle ages advanced it became more common to allow aristocrats to substitute a cash payment for military service to their lord, and a certain number ended their military career and became essentially country gentry.
