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. I am a year 8 student studying medieval times so this is just whats in my textbook and what ive been taught.


Who prepared medieval knights for their role?

In medieval times the knight was attended by his squires. The knight was training these squires in the martial arts as well as court etiquette. In theory the squires would dres the knight for battle, however as the squire was also going into battle it is more likely they were dressed by the pages or common retainers.
