Squire / Guard Escort
Squire es el escudero en español, pero, originalmente fue más el guarda o escolta.
The English word squire comes from the Old French escuier (modern French écuyer), itself derived from the Late Latin scutarius ("shield bearer"), in medieval or Old English a 'scutifer].. The Classical Latin equivalent was armiger, "arms bearer". One became a squire at the age of 13 or 14.
The most famous squire in world literature, albeit as a caricature, is probably the babbling Sancho Panza.
