Hundred Kingdoms: Mounted Squires

Trained in the arts of combat almost from childhood, squires are a potent force on the field even if they lack the panoply of a full knight. Often the youngest sons of the landed nobles or wealthy burghers, their arms and epuipment are a cut above what one would expect. Many noble houses have taken to fielding their squires in battle, rewarding them generously for their efforts calculating that their breeding, education and training are far more valuable and dependable than the simple mercenary motivation of a man at arms.
