I think knight
=================================================
"Knight" is only a partial answer. Medieval lords of high rank (Earls, Dukes, Counts) would certainly have a large number of high-ranking knights (barons) who owed them military service in return for huge land-holdings provided by their particular feudal lord. Each of these knights would be able to call upon knights of lower status who in turn owed service to them.
But there was also a class of troops who were not knights, known collectively as serjantz (nothing to do with the modern rank of sergeant - it derives from Latin servus, a servant). These were split into professional full-time serjantz who served as crossbowmen, archers, spearmen and even mounted cavalry (with much less expensive kit than knights); and also part-time serjantz who could be called upon to serve for 40 days in time of emergency.
This last group were effectively ordinary freemen: burgesses, tradesmen, craftsmen, merchants, shopkeepers and others who had a reasonable income and could equip themselves with a mail coat, helmet and spear. They owed military service as part of their Feudal obligations.

Yes, the term "winch" was used in medieval times, but it primarily referred to a type of mechanical device used for lifting or hoisting.

Instead, women were often referred to by various other terms, depending on their social status, occupation, or role in society.
