Aggressive pricing

 Cool thread, I was wondering if you could expand on something:



Railtus posted:


At ages 13 or 14 he became a squire, apprenticed to a knight, if he has demonstrated an aptitude for being a warrior. This would act mostly as a support troop, managing a knight’s horses, bringing him fresh lances during battle. In many cases a squire would protect his master if the master was injured, or guard prisoners.



How did the squires manage that in the middle of battle? I guess either the knights left the front to resupply or squires ran stuff into them?
