| − | A Squire is generally a pupil to a [[Knight]] and is mentored toward becoming a [[Knight]] themselves one day. A [[Knight]] may choose to take a Squire, or may not. Taking a squire it is not something that a Knight ''must'' do.

| − | ===Customs===
| |
| − | Many different traditions exist in the different [[Kingdom|kingdoms]] of Amtgard. Some say that in the Kingdom of [[Neverwinter]] one Squire may be taken per [[Knight|order of Knighthood]] an individual has received. It is suggested in others, like the [[Celestial Kingdom]] at a knight may take two squires per belt, but could have more. It is told that in some kingdoms a person who is already knighted may Squire themselves to a knight of another order that they are pursuing. Most kingdoms do not have this requirement, but in [[Dragonspine]] a person must be a member of Amtgard for twelve weeks before they may become a squire.

| − | ===Duties of a Squire===
| |
| − | The Duties required of a Squire to a [[Liege]] are even more varied than the traditions in taking them. But in most situations the Squire is apprenticed to a knight to learn from them, to gain knowlege to better themselves in and out of the game.

| − | ===Symbols===
| |
| − | The symbol of a squire is a Red [[Belt|belt]], much like that of a [[Page]] is a yellow belt. In other similar games Squires are allowed to wear unadorned chains provided that they are silver. In amtgard we have no such custom; the unadorned chain is reserved for our knights.

| − | ===Ranks===
| |
| − | Honorifics for Squire are, the obvious '[[Squire]]' and the lesser known [[Esquire]], which can be used just as it is spelled or, as an abbreviation as in [[Esq]].
| |
| − | *The difference between these two honorifics is in placement. [[Squire]] is listed before the name after any titles, and the name is followed by the player's estate, or the land where they play, As in "[[Lord]] [[Squire]] [[Lodar]], of [[Talon Field]]". Whereas, [[Esquire]] follows the name, but is placed before the [[Estate]], as in [[Baroness]] [[Scarlet|Scarlet Ethindale-Tannon]] [[Esq]], of [[Traitor's Gate]].
