− | ===Historically===
| |
− | Historically, a man-at-arms was a fighter employed by an army, lord, or individual knights. In Amtgard, men-at-arms are roughly analogous to [[page|pages]], in that they are taken by [[Squire|squires]]. Although this is theoretically a mentor-student type relationship, there are a multitude of reasons that a squire might take a man-at-arms.

− | ===Symbols===
| |
− | Men and Women at Arms wear a black [[Belt|belt]]. In some Kingdoms this is further established with silver trim but many places don't require or use it. In the Kingdom of [[Neverwinter]] the belt is traditionally green.

− | ===In Amtgard===
| |
− | Everything about men-at-arms is custom, so there are no hard and fast rules.

− | ===The difference between a Man at arms and a [[page]]:===
| |
− | Officially, there is no difference, as neither is officially recognized in the Order of Precedence or most [[Corpora]]s. Some kingdoms define a man-at-arms as some one who fights, while a page is a non-combatant. Some kingdoms eschew one in favor of the other. Some kingdoms allow squires to take a man-at-arms, and a [[noble]] to take a page. In some places, children too young to fight are pages, while everyone else is a man-at-arms.
