Quotes of the day
I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conlusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleages, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives. ~ Leo Tolstoy

In Spain, as in other parts of medieval Europe, knights were mounted warriors of noble birth who received formal training in arms and warfare. Squires were young men, also of noble birth, who served as attendants to knights, assisting them with their equipment, horses, and daily needs, while also receiving training in arms themselves. I took the picture in Avila (Spain) when we visited a Medieval Market.
