| Its name reflects the fact that its back bears numerous prickles and thorns sticking up from button-like bases known as bucklers. |
| This bale is like an alcaide, and is always attended by two hundred men armed with swords and bucklers. |
| Instead of bales of cloth he saw there only gleaming bucklers hanging on the walls, and arms of all kinds as in a seignorial castle. |
| Targets and bucklers are small shields known to have been used in later historical periods, although targets became larger in the Renaissance. |
| The bucklers were huge shields, and the weapons were wooden swords. |
| The legionaries began putting on their armour, fastened the greave protecting the right leg, and took up bucklers and lances. |
