But this was not the distinctive equipment of the Highlanders; for in 1574, when a general order for weaponshawing was issued for the whole kingdom, we find that it contains a separate regulation for the Highlands. The general appointment is that all persons under 300 merks of yearly rent mnst have "brigantinis, jakkis, steilbonettis, slevis of plate or mail, swerds, pikkis, or speris of sex elnis lang, culverings, halbertis, or twa-handit swordis."

From the Rutland returns, for instance, one learns that, of the 36 residents in the East hundred who possessed 20 marks or more in goods, 17 had no harness at all, while six had incomplete sets of narness: thus only about one-third of the population of this district were fulfilling their obligations. Moreover, among the law-breakers were men like Henry Bokyngham of Little Casterton who had £60 and no harness, and Hen±y Thistilton of Great Casterton who had £50 and a sallet.
