"Squire: A fighter who has been
accepted as a student by a member of the Chivalry. The relationship varies a great deal
depending on the personalities involved and on the customs of the Kingdom. Since it
results from a purely personal arrangement, the word 'squire' is not a title or rank. Some
squires wear red belts in token of the association - a custom which is prevalent in some
Kingdoms and relatively rare in others."
- The SCA Known World Handbook.
"Esquire (noun): In medieval
times, a candidate for knighthood who served a knight as an attendant and shield bearer.
[Middle English 'esquire', from Old French 'escuier', from Late Latin 'scutarius', Shield
Bearer, from Latin 'scutum', shield."
