| − | ===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.

| − | ===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.
