Targe
Targe (from
Old Franconian *targa "shield",
Proto-Germanic *targo "border") was a general word for
shield in late
Old English. Its diminutive, target, came to mean an object to be aimed at in the 18th century.The term refers to various types of shields used by infantry troops from the 13th to 16th centuries. More specifically, a targe was a concave shield fitted with
enarmes on the inside, one adjustable by a buckle, to be attached to the forearm, and the other fixed as a grip for the left hand. These shields were mostly made of iron or iron-plated wood. From the 15th century, the term could also refer to special shields used for
jousting.
