Even with that serious amount of requirements, I feel it's too much reward for a low cost tech. Universal speed boost doesn't sit right with me at all I'm afraid.
I like the idea, but not as a tech - how about as a buffer unit with time out effects? So a knight could be "squired" for x turns by the squire buff
+1 speed because a squire looks after fresh and different steeds
Bonus to attack because a squire would ensure his knight has the right weapon to hand for each situation
Boni to armours for obvious reasons that it's being looked after.

when squired the knight could be healed as well...since squires used to take harmed horses and help the wounded knight...
also, i like the idea of making it a buffer unit...

Haha, I'm in a couple of chat groups with some of the old timers of this game, and a couple of those grizzled veterans seem to miss the old days when it was all so simple and there wasn't a huge amount of unit choice.
Me, I came along almost 2 years ago - judging by the upgrade tree, that was shortly after things started to expand and develop big time, and I love the almost endless possibilities. When there are so many different choices then there is never going to be one "right" way, the "best" way - it simply cannot exist with so many variables. Having a million and one different options elevates this game, imo, from a science into an art.

plus the annoying spells with a low chance of happening, everything becomes random

It's kind of a very strong technology, I don't want to say I didn't like it but it's going to be quite unbalanced. some basic requirements for it could be loyalty and was exclusively to be researched in the high castle with 7 cost.
