Squire in the context of "Sidekick"

In medieval and early modern England, a yeoman /ˈjoʊmən/ was a member of a social class ranking between the peasantry and the landed gentry. The class was first documented in mid-14th century England, where it included people who cultivated their own land as well as the middle ranks of servants in an English royal or noble household.

The 14th century witnessed the rise of the yeoman longbowmen during the Hundred Years' War, and the yeoman outlaws celebrated in the Robin Hood ballads. Yeomen joined the English Navy during the Hundred Years' War as seamen and archers. In the early 15th century, yeoman was the rank of chivalry between page and squire. By the late 17th century, yeoman became a rank in the Royal Navy for the common seamen who were in charge of ship's stores, such as foodstuffs, gunpowder, and sails.

Sancho Panza (/ˈpænzə/; Spanish: [ˈsantʃo ˈpanθa]) is a fictional character in the novel Don Quixote written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra in 1605. Sancho acts as squire to Don Quixote and provides comments throughout the novel, known as sanchismos, that are a combination of broad humour, ironic Spanish proverbs, and earthy wit. "Panza" in Spanish means "belly" (cf. English "paunch," Italian "pancia", several Italian dialects "panza", Portuguese and Galician "pança", French "panse", Romanian "pântec", Catalan "panxa").

In Greek mythology, Eurymedon (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυμέδων; "ruling far and wide") was the name of several minor figures:

• Eurymedon, in rare accounts, a Titan or Giant who fathered Prometheus after raping Hera.
• Eurymedon, king of the Gigantes, father of Periboea (mother of Nausithous by Poseidon). He brought destruction on his people and was himself destroyed.
• Eurymedon, one of the Cabiri, children of Hephaestus and Cabiro, a Thracian woman. He was the brother of Alcon. Eurymedon fought in the Indian War of Dionysus but he fled when attacked by Orontes.
• Eurymedon, possible father of Cinyras by the nymph Paphia.
• Eurymedon, one of the four sons of Minos and his concubine Pareia. His brothers were Nephalion, Chryses and Philolaus. Eurymedon was a resident of the island of Paros in the Cyclades but was slain by the hero Heracles.
• Eurymedon, son of Dionysus and Ariadne, one of the Argonauts. He was the brother of Phlias.
• Eurymedon, father of Andromache who was one of the sacrificial victims of the Minotaur.
• Eurymedon, father of Leanida who consorted with Zeus and became the mother of Coron.
• Eurymedon, defender of the Hypsistan gate at Thebes during the military campaign of the Seven against Thebes. He is the son of Faunus(Pan).
• Eurymedon, not a servant but a squire to and charioteer of Agamemnon. He was the son of Ptolemy (Ptolemaeus), son of Peiraeus. Pausanias mentioned that Eurymedon's tomb was in the underground chambers at Mycenae along with Agamemnon himself; indicating that he was a loyal squire of importance to his master. He is mentioned once in The Iliad, Book 4, Line 228.
• Eurymedon, servant of Nestor, not to be confused with Agamemnon's squire. He is mentioned only twice in the Iliad, Books 8 and 11, Lines 114 and 620, respectively.
• Eurymedon, a surname of Poseidon, Perseus and Hermes.

"The Knight's Tale" (Middle English: The Knightes Tale) is the first tale from Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales.

The Knight is described by Chaucer in the "General Prologue" as the person of highest social standing amongst the pilgrims, though his manners and clothes are unpretentious. We are told that he has taken part in some fifteen crusades in many countries and also fought for one pagan leader against another. Though the list of campaigns is real, his characterization is idealized. Most readers have taken Chaucer's description of him as "a verray, parfit gentil knyght" to be sincere but Terry Jones suggested that this description was ironic, and that Chaucer's readers would have deduced that the Knight was a mercenary. He is accompanied on his pilgrimage by the Squire, his 20-year-old son.
