Damoiseau would be the masculine of damsel or young lady, or to be more exact, a young squire, that is, “Young man pertaining to the nobility, that still had not been armed knight”. However, it should be noted, and from here comes the euphemistic relationship with homosexuality, that these guys used to serve as pages to kings and nobles. A model of relationship, the young and beautiful boy with a powerful adult, that over the centuries has always caused many suspicions 🙂 As a curiosity, the first meaning of the word ‘doncel’ (young squire) in Spanish is sweet. Is it random chance?
