Essentially, the meaning of the words knight and squire flipped.
From Wikipedia: "The English word squire comes from the Old French escuier (modern French écuyer), itself derived from the Late Latin scutarius ("shield bearer"). The Classical Latin equivalent was armiger, 'arms bearer.'"
I think the scutarius part is cool.
