This issue was, we thought, very clever, since the old "escuier" is a derivitive of shield...some really good stuff was contributed for this issue, including our first "how to" article and a very useful FORUM sections pertaining to the rights and responsibilties of squires. "Construction of the Knightly Shield" Theodore F. Monnich "A Knightly Hermit Instructs A Squire in the Ways of Chivarly: An excerpt from Ramon Lull's Book of Knighthood and Chivalry" "The Company of Saint Michael" Hugh T. Knight "What is a Squire?" Joe Latta "Some notes on Squires in History" Brian R. Price "Excerpts from Brian's BOOK OF THE TOURNAMENT" "Ordinary Knights and Squires" David S. Hoornstra "Reading Lists for Squires" Brian R. Price
