Dear Matt:

Thankyou for your interesting observations. Your
evidence suggests strongly that the term "Buckler"
(This was Riley's term in the English sub title) and
"Bockeller " (as given in the Latin text 13th-14th
century) may be described as "to play at Bucklers; at
sword and Buckler; to fence.

Whilst on the subject of the meaning of words, the
family name of Bulkley may have a connection:

British History Online claims that the name Bukeler,
Bokeler, Buclier literally means "bucklemaker", and
also used in the sense of "girdler" It also mentions
that the name Bucler often used by the Buckley
(Lancashire) line, is also described to mean
"bucklemaker"

As a number of documents 12th-16th century infer that
the family is of French descent, it is of some
interest to learn from the Patent Rolls that a George
Bukele/Bucler (merchant from Rouen) 1225 and 1235 was
given permission to trade in England.

Archaelogical excavations in Dublin Ireland have found
evidence of a foundry owned by the Bukelers early
1200s - their specialty the making of bronze items -
they were newcomers from across the Channel.

One of the earliest records found is Richard de
Bulceleia 1170-1180 who was a witness to a Bunbury
Charter Cheshire. As there are a number of small towns
in France named Bucaille and the like, it suggests a
possible family name connection across the Channel.

A number of authorities have suggested that the family
name was derived from the small towns of Bulkeley
(Cheshire) and Buckley (Lancashire) but I suspect that
that claim is incorrect.

Sincerely Yours,

Paul Bulkley

Might there be several distinct surnames here? Modern families called
Buckler, Bulkeley, Buckley etc might be descended from several
different individuals, some who made buckles etc, some from a place or
places in France, some from an English place or places called Buckley
or Bulkeley or similar?

Incidentally I gather from the Nottingham Names-Studies site that
Bulkeley in Cheshire is a genuine Anglo-Saxon place-name (derived from
bulluc-leah - meaning bullock-ley) so Richard de Bulceleia who was a
witness to a Cheshire charter in c1170 may well have taken his surname
from there.

Regards,

Matt
