15. "Squire" should work

Under the British system of titles, "squire" ranks below "knight" and above "gentleman." In older times, it referred to the man assigned the task of maintaining a knight's shield and armor, or at the least was a close friend and servant. Think Samwise Gamgee to Frodo Baggins. And like that pair, there are many stories where the relationship between squire and his knight was, shall we say, not something you would discuss with the Church.

I think Squire would be appropriate.
