Here's why:
* Redundancy: A squire is traditionally a young nobleman who serves a knight or gentleman. Therefore, saying "gentleman and a squire" is somewhat redundant, as a squire is already considered a gentleman in training.
* Context: The phrase might be used in a specific historical context, like describing a knight and his squire, or in a fictional context where the squire is not necessarily a noble.
Here are some better alternatives:
* Knight and his squire
* Gentleman and his attendant
* Lord and his squire
* Master and his servant
Ultimately, the best phrasing depends on the specific context and the relationship between the two individuals.
