Ancient Armour and Weapons in Europe: From the Iron Period of the Northern Nations to the End of the Thirteenth Century
Hewitt, John
Armor; Weapons
[436] A doubtful word. It has been held to mean the kind of cloth
called "muster-develers:" a body-armour seems implied.
[437] Cuissards.
[438] "Bacynette." _Lib. Horn._
[439] Lincoln.
[440] The squire's armour.
[441] Succour.
[442] "Mareschaus." _Lib. Horn._
[443] The Earls of Cornwall, Gloucester, Warren and Lincoln.
[444] Page 729.
[445] Probably for _Hampshire_; a wide deviation: but when we
remember that the word has passed through the Spanish and French, we
shall be less inclined to wonder at its present state.
[446] Chap. xvi.
[447] Assis. Hieros., cap. 101.
