释义 | buscarln. historical in later use. In (late) Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman England: a member of a body of men retained, apparently usually by the king, to guard the coast.Buscarls are attested historically from 1052 to 1101. It is possible that the term originally referred to Anglo-Scandinavian naval troops. They appear to have formed a paid standing force based on the English coast, especially in Kent and Sussex, and are mentioned specifically in connection with the defence of the English Channel.
