Everyone wore clothing made in the Roman tunic style. A Noble's garments were of better quality and in richer colors, but they were generally wool with linen undergarments. Leather shoes were worn made in the turn style method and often a hat or cloak in the winter. A cloak might have a fur lining and held together with a gold pin. Knights were forbidden to wear rings.

∙ 9y agoA squire was originally a young man who aspired to the rank of knighthood. A squire was the second stage to becoming a knight, after serving first as a page. One became a squire at the age of 14.
As part of his development to that end, he served an existing knight as an attendant or shield carrier. The squire would sometimes carry the knight's flag to battle with his master. If he proved his loyalty in battle, he would have a dubbing, an official ceremony to become a knight. However, during the Middle Ages the rank of the squire came to be recognized in its own right, and once knighthood ceased to be conferred by any but the monarch, it was no longer to be assumed that a squire would in due course progress to be a knight. The connection between a squire and any particular knight also ceased to exist, as did any shield-carrying duties.

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.
