Origin of the Term:
According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the term "swash" has
had several meanings. One was "to dash or cast violently" (1577).
A "swashbuckler" was "one who makes a noise by striking his own or
his opponent's shield with his sword ... a swaggering bravo or
ruffian." Picture a cool stud of the late 15th or early 16th
century wearing a sword and buckler (small shield often with a
spike in the middle) on his belt and clanking the two together as
he swaggers around town: "Clankity-clank; I'm a tough guy." By the
early 17th century, just in time for D'Artagnan's adventures, the
rapier was the only weapon for European gentlemen, and
swashbuckling (fighting with broadsword and buckler) was called
"the serving man's defense." Theses Swashbuckler movies are divided into several themes # A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Arabian Adventures - Arthurian - Robin Hood - Pirates - Musketeers - Zorro - Ivanhoe
