Armed

Inglese

whenever any beast of prey has teeth and claws, or any beast of chase (except stags,etc) has horns and hoof, or any bird of prey has beak and talons, of a tincture different from his body, he is said to be armed of such a tincture. Whern the term is applied to arrows, it refers to their heads. When a man is said to be armed at all points, it signifies that he is entirely covered with armor, except his face
