Esquire
From Wessexwiki
Esquires are the lowest rank of gentry in Wessex. Knights may select two esquires from among any of the members of the Duchy to train in the arts of chivalry, including the villeins. If you do not marry a knight, the quickest way to become a member of the gentry is to become an apprentice to one. Sergeants are natural choices for esquires.
Although an esquire does not have an oath of fealty to a knight, he is sworn to his service. This means that a knight will require his squires to carry things for him, to care for his horses, to upkeep his armor and weapons out of their own pockets, etc.
