Page's next rank

Squireship is the position, rank, or status of a squire—historically, a young man of good family serving a knight as an attendant, or later, a country gentleman who owned land in a rural district.

The term is rare and somewhat archaic, appearing mainly in historical contexts: He aspired to squireship before earning his knighthood.
