In The Three Musketeers Planchet is not a squire.
Planchet is a lackey.
Despite the modern usage of the term as a toady, in the 1600's it's an honorable profession.
The amusing thing is that this came up during gaming once.
A player was looking for a way to make his character fit in and I suggested the job of lackey.
He initially balked, but I got to explain that it was much sought after position.
A noble gentleman without a lackey is less than whole.
Batman and valet are equivalent.
