16世纪的英国军官汉弗莱巴维克记载了以下内容:And for the long bow, it standeth in the like esti∣mation that other Archers on foote dooth: as for the armours, the best is the Brigandine, the which* is but equall with a coate of plate of the best ma∣king, which M. Euers or Ewry was armed with, when as the Lord of Grange called Kirkaudie a Scot, and the saide M. Ewry did runne the one at the other, in a challenge by them made with sharpe Speares: but how fell out the same? euen like to* haue beene the death of that good and valiant Gen∣tleman M. Ewrye, for Kirkaudy ranne him cleane through the armour, as in at the brest and forth at the back, through both: thē to what purpose is that arming in that māner? 英苏边境的一场挑战,双方用锋利的长矛决斗。一名名叫M Ewry的身着板甲衣/布面甲(brigandine),被一位苏格兰的领主捅了个透心凉,前胸后背都被刺穿了。结合事发地点,双方应该都是边境骑手的武装模式,使用的只是轻型长矛且没有枪架。
