A medieval young nobleman or page who served in a lord's household; a young attendant.
From Old French 'custrel' or 'custre', possibly from Latin 'custos' (guardian) or related to 'coast' (meaning to go alongside), used for squires in medieval romance literature.
In medieval literature, the custrel was basically an unpaid intern living in a castle—they did grunt work hoping to eventually become knights.
