The term buckler derives its name from the French word "bouclier", meaning "shield". It was used from the 12th century all the way to the 18th century. Its small size allowed it to be both maneuverable and mobile. It often accompanied a swordsman as an aid in defense, and was designed to be light and maneuverable, allowing a warrior to retain a good portion of their mobility and agility, even when deflecting blows with a shield.
