The squires of the Middle Ages were young men training to be knights. They worked for knights and lived with the knights. In peaceful times they would have lived on a manor, possibly in the manor house, or in a castle. In wartime, they would have lived in castles or, if the knights were in the field, in tents or in buildings appropriated or rented by the knights as needed.
The use of the word squire for a village leader or prosperous land owner came about after the Middle Ages ended.
A squire is a young noble boy who is in training to become a knight. He begins training at 7-8 years old and around 12-13 becomes a squire for a knight who is training him. At 21 he becomes a knight if he makes it through the years of training.
A squire was originally a helper to a knight, and derives from a term meaning shield bearer. The term quickly was applied to an apprentice to a knight who had gone through the training of being a page. The stages of page and squire were each about seven years long. The squire was typically 14 to 21 years old.
Later on, the term squire was used to refer to a member of the landed gentry who was not a knight.
