What does brinded mean in shakespeare?

Brindled means 'streaked or spotted' in Shakespeare. For instance, in "Hamlet," the Ghost describes the King of Denmark as having a "cerecloth" that is "all bristled up like quills upon the fretful porpentine" (I.v.19). In this case, "bristled" is used to describe the King's hair, which is standing on end like the quills of a porcupine.
