Thy+Squire.

// The Medieval [|//Squire//] was a servant to a knight during the [|//Middle Ages//]. The Royal Family needed people to clean and serve their homes. // // The Squires social standing is high because they are knights in training. // // The life of a Squire also called Esquire would start as a teenager, usually fourteen years of age. A Squire was junior to a Knight. It was the duty of a Squire to learn about [|the Code of Chivalry], [|the rules of Heraldry], horsemanship and practice the use of weapons. It was also their duty to enter into the social life of the castle and learn courtly etiquette, music and dancing. The Squire served in this role for seven years and became a Knight at the age of twenty-one. Sometimes [|knighthood] was conferred earlier as the reward for bravery on the battlefield \[]. The squire is a modern day farmer because you start young when you farm and you will probably be farming for the rest of your life if you stay at home or choose to do something different. //

[] **Chaucer's opinion toward The Squire would be a novice warrior and lover with more enthusiasm than experience. He's considered a brave and admired guy in the tale. The line "Well could he sit on horse, and fairly ride." proves how chaucer felt about him mostly. This line "A lover and a lusty bachelor" would be a a great line choice from the time period to understand. A lusty [|bachelor] would be someone looking for the best lady to make their needs and to keep them happy.** __**[]**__ With him there was his son, a youthful squire, A lover and a lusty bachelor, With locks well curled, as if they’d laid in press. Some twenty years of age he was, I guess. In stature he was of an average length, (5)  Wondrously active, aye, and great of strength. He’d ridden sometime with the cavalry In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardy, And borne him well within that little space In hope to win thereby his lady’s grace. (10) Embroidered was he, like a meadow bed All full of freshest flowers, white and red. Singing he was, or fluting, all the day; He was as fresh as is the month of May. Short was his gown, with sleeves both long and wide. (15) Well could he sit on horse, and fairly ride. He could make songs and words thereto indite, Joust, and dance too, as well as sketch and write. So hot he loved that, while night told her tale, He slept no more than does a nightingale. (20) Courteous he, and humble, willing and able, And carved before his father at the table.
