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.
What constituted a medieval knight differed in various countries. In western Europe, knights were connected with nobility and royalty, often the sons of lords. They lived in a castle or manor of their own. When the king called upon their service, then they were mustered with other knights for war. Otherwise, they lived normal lives as a noble, tending to their properties and businesses.
However, in eastern Europe, knights could come from lower ranks or even be unfree people (aka serfs). These sorts of knights obviously lived a much different life from the royal ones.
Some eastern knights were sworn to a lord and lived in their castle. These were dependent upon the lord and were practically servants, if not outright unfree persons. Rising through the ranks of the army to become a knight was a good way for a person of low station to make a name for themselves.
Depending upon the time period and wealth of the lord of the castle, knights and soldiers could live within a barracks, where they were crammed together, sometimes with beds/cots but often sleeping on the floor or on pallets of straw. In poorer or older castles, soldiers slept where they could. Only the lord's family had beds, and everyone else, servants and soldiers, curled up wherever it was warm, often sleeping in the kitchens, the great hall, around fire pits in the courtyard, or wherever they were stationed for guard duty.
There is a great scene in "The Lion in Winter" where King Henry II is waking up his household to take a trip to Rome, and Peter O'Toole runs through halls, kitchens, corridors, throughout the courtyard, and all around the castle, shouting and kicking the sleeping soldiers and servants awake, who are all curled together for warmth. It's crude, but that's how life was back then.

Which Muslim fought in a similar way to western knights?
Saladin (Salah al-Din Yusuf Ibn Ayyub) was noted as man of great chivalry.
---
Saladin fought in a completely different way to Western Knights. He was noted for having similar ideals to the code of Chivalry ie. respect for your equal, which in this case was King Richard. However, the fighting styles of the Muslim princes was the complete opposite to those of the West.
However, some tactics from the East were incorporated into Western fighting. Such as the incorporation of circular towers or concentric walls. As can be seen with Edward I, after crusading in the East he incorporated the Geurilla tactics of having a small but very mobile force with in depth knowledge of the terrain in order to finally capture Wales. Through the use of smaller garrison forts (another learnt tactic from the East) he was able to effectively utilise this strategy.
