Jack cards of all four suits in the English pattern A Jack or Knave, in some games referred to as a 5️⃣ Bower, in Tarot card games as a Valet, is a playing card which, in traditional French and English decks, pictures 5️⃣ a man in the traditional or historic aristocratic or courtier dress, generally associated with Europe of the 16th or 17th 5️⃣ century. The usual rank of a jack is between the ten and the queen. History [ edit ] Knave of coins from 5️⃣ the oldest known European deck ( c. 1390–1410 ) The earliest predecessor of the knave was the thānī nā'ib (second or 5️⃣ under-deputy) in the Mamluk card deck. This was the lowest of the three court cards and like all court cards 5️⃣ was depicted through abstract art or calligraphy. When brought over to Italy and Spain, the thānī nā'ib was made into 5️⃣ an infantry soldier or page ranking below the knight card. In France, where the card was called the valet, the 5️⃣ queen was inserted between the king and knight. The knight was subsequently dropped out of non-Tarot decks leaving the valet 5️⃣ directly under the queen. The king-queen-valet format then made its way into England. |
