A Jack or Knave, in some games referred to as a 💳 Bower, in Tarot card games as a Valet, is a playing card which, in traditional French and English decks, pictures 💳 a man in the traditional or historic aristocratic or courtier dress, generally associated with Europe of the 16th or 17th 💳 century. The usual rank of a jack is between the ten and the queen.

History [ edit ]

Knave of coins from 💳 the oldest known European deck ( c. 1390–1410 )

The earliest predecessor of the knave was the thānī nā'ib (second or 💳 under-deputy) in the Mamluk card deck. This was the lowest of the three court cards and like all court cards 💳 was depicted through abstract art or calligraphy. When brought over to Italy and Spain, the thānī nā'ib was made into 💳 an infantry soldier or page ranking below the knight card. In France, where the card was called the valet, the 💳 queen was inserted between the king and knight. The knight was subsequently dropped out of non-Tarot decks leaving the valet 💳 directly under the queen. The king-queen-valet format then made its way into England.
