Privileges of Advancement

Upon completion of the Pages Handbook, the page is made a squire at a household meeting. At this time, a squire can enter the service of a different noble. This is done by mutual agreement of the squire and his new Noble. The squire is now only required to wear the tabard of his Noble. The squire is allowed to wear a sword or dagger with his tunic. He is also entitled to wear as a regular course armor items such as a mail coif or mail bishop’s mantle, vembreces (forearm protection) or gauntlets. The Squire wears a brown or black belt.
