[262] “Tous armés d’épées, de guisarmes, d’écus, d’arcs et de flèches.” Charton, ib., 252. Guisarmes, which I have translated by “daggers,” is a word of obscure origin, but it means some small arme de main. We find in Ducange, under gisarma, “cultellos et alia arma minuta.” Diez, Etymologisches Wörterbuch, ii. 217, giusarma.
