Man-at-arms

Man-at-arms was a term used from the High Medieval to Renaissance periods to describe a soldier, almost always a professional warrior in the sense of being well-trained in the use of arms, who served as a fully armoured heavy cavalryman.〔 It could refer to knights or noblemen, and to members of their retinues or to mercenaries in companies under captains. Such men could serve for pay or through a feudal obligation. The terms ''knight'' and ''man-at-arms'' are often used interchangeably, but while all knights equipped for war certainly were men-at-arms, not all men-at-arms were knights.
== Evolution of the man-at-arms ==
In the Early Medieval period, any well-equipped horseman could be described as a "knight", or ''miles'' in Latin.〔Church and Harvey (1994), p. 51.〕 In the course of the 12th century knighthood became a social rank with a distinction being made between ''milites gregarii'' (non-noble cavalrymen) and ''milites nobiles'' (true knights).〔Church and Harvey (1994), pp. 48-49.〕 As a fully armoured cavalryman could be of a lesser social status than a knight, an alternative term describing this type of soldier came into use which was, in French, ''homme d'armes'' or ''gent d'armes'', and in English man-at-arms. The term man-at-arms thus primarily denoted a military function, rather than a social rank.
This evolution differed in detail and timeline across Europe but by 1300, there was a clear distinction between the military function of the man-at-arms and the social rank of knighthood.〔Nicholson (2004), p. 55.〕
